This is a new in game item suggestion
Sleeping Bag
▪Crafting: 6 pieces of wool (im too lazy to think of anything better for this part)
▪ Its purpose: Sleep without setting a spawnpoint
▪Cons: You can only use the bag 10 times, it takes a long time for you to go to sleep (prehaps a minute), and you risk not spawning close to the location of your death which could result in the lost of your items.
▪Pros: You no longer have to worry too much about losing your spawn point after sleeping far away from your campsite/home.
Thoughts?

("Edit 2" that is 7th paragraph, seems to be the most favorable way of adding this idea to minecraft that people are agreeing on, check it out)
Something ive always wanted to do in minecraft is sleep in my cool custom bed thats made out of concrete but it looks like a soft bed lol
So what if we were given the option to lay down and sleep anywhere HOWEVER if its not done on a bed, your spawn point will not be set.
Why
1.) Players basically are able to sleep anywhere they want already by just taking a bed with them. So this will just make the process easier without worrying about setting a spawn point
2.) Imagine going to a friends house in minecraft, but if you were to die you wanted to spawn in your own home instead of at your friends house. Well, now you can!
3.) Makes the game a little more realistic since realistically speaking humans are able to sleep on floors, ive seen it before although they didnt feel too great afterwards 😂
Edit 1: Another great reason to add to his that someone mentioned in the replies below, is that it would help us deal with Phantoms, allowing you to get rid of them without setting your spawn point. You still cant sleep while monsters are near but if you find good cover like you would with a bed, it will work just fine
Edit 2: Just got a suggestion saying that we should have a craftable sleeping bag or something that breaks after you sleep in it. This will be used for sleeping without changing your spawn point too. To make it less "overpowered" some are saying that it should negatively affect your hunger in some way
(I was also thinking that it would be cool if sleeping without a bed could be done in the daytime too, to make day into night. Idk about you but i like seeing my world at night sometimes)
weird reasoning aside, i think it would be nice to sleep on the ground while exploring many thousands of blocks from my home in search of a particular resource while not taking my spawn point with me. i like the idea
Thanks to phantoms, we really do need some non-spawnpoint way of sleeping. There's nothing quite like going off on an expedition and choosing between having a safe spawnpoint or not being attacked by undead bats.

If you'd like to talk with me about other games, here are a few I play.
Team Fortress 2
Borderlands series (Borderlands 2 is my favorite game, ever. TPS combat is a lot of fun and makes up for the lower-quality story, in my opinion)
Elder Scrolls series
Warframe (IGN is something like That_One_Flesh_Atronach)
Pokémon series (HGSS forever)
Rocket League
Fallout series
Left 4 Dead 2 (Boomer files always corrupt though)
SUPERHOT (SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years!)
Dead Rising series (Dead Rising 2 is one of my favorite games, and the 3rd was a lot of fun. 1st has poor survivor AI and the 4th is bad)
Just Cause series
Come to think of it, I mainly play fighting-based games.
Youve never basically made a bed out of covers and slept on the floor of a friends house @GDog_0 ?
And yes, realistically speaking humans are capable of sleeping on floors......
If i were to gover my friends house, its either make something to sleep on the floor with or sleep on a couch. Rarely did they have an extra bed for me to sleep on, or did i ever bring a Full bed with me

My point was that he is suggesting we be able to sleep on all surfaces... that includes bedrock. I don't think most people can sleep on bare rocks without any covers.

I don't even play Minecraft much anymore yet here I am on the Minecraft forums for some reason...
"My point is he is suggesting we be able to sleep on all surfaces"
Assuming that you are aware that you just said what im doing instead of saying your point... i will say what your point is to make sure we are on the same page.
Your point is that "*you think* its *not realistic* for a person to sleep on all of the surfaces in minecraft" Is it not? If it is, then ive known your point the whole time. The reason i responded to your comment about floors was to help proove to you that your "point" is not true, not just answer your question lol
And now im going to do it again with your argument on rocks:
"I dont think most people can sleep on bare rocks"
I think the problem is youre asuming that the rocks in minecraft cannot be flat enough for a person to lay and sleep on but the truth is it can be flat enough artificially AND naturally, you should know this
I also believe you should do some research or test it out for yourself on sleeping on hard surfaces @GDog_0. Theres evidence out there backing me up on sleeping on a hard surface, and unquestionably a few experts on sleep that will agree with me on this too.
My point was that he is suggesting we be able to sleep on all surfaces... that includes bedrock. I don't think most people can sleep on bare rocks without any covers.
Also, im not sure if this was obvious or not. But surfaces like lava or catus are not what i expect for us to be able to sleep on. All 2 block areas that cant hurt you is what i was imagining for us to be able to sleep on.
I think you already know this but i just wanted to make sure lol

What about the fact that people have done so for tens or hundreds of thousands of years and millions still do every day?
That said, being able to skip the night no matter where you are with no risk seems to be unbalanced. At least with the system as it is you have the drawback of losing your preferred spawn point. There would need to be some drawbacks to this before I would support it. Maybe it doesn't reset the timer for Phantoms, or you suffer from some kind of debuff the next morning, or something to make it more balanced.
Otherwise you might as well just turn the daylight cycle off until you want to see hostile mobs, since you have a free way to sleep anywhere with no risks or reasons not to.

I a idea, its good yours. But with improvement its based on your idea. You make a simple bed using wool or something soft silk maybe. And you can sleep one this only on time and it will get destroyed and you wont set a spawn point but a good way to skip night.

You feel like the "drawback" of setting your spawn point, makes being able to sleep anywhere with a bed balanced?

This i can still get behind, it will require resources which sucks but i can still sleep in my custom made beds on ps4 edition with your idea so yea, i could be comfortable with this
You feel like the "drawback" of setting your spawn point, makes being able to sleep anywhere with a bed balanced?
The three drawbacks are three-fold:
1. Having to waste inventory to carry a bed with you everywhere
2. Losing your bed spawn point if you sleep somewhere else
3. Having to respawn at the world spawn if you change spawn points by sleeping and then break your bed to bring it with you
2 and 3 may not be that big of a deal depending on how well set up the world spawn is and if it has easy transport to your home, but it can still put you far away from your dropped items. But since you mention it, no I actually think beds are kind of overpowered as-is. Which isn't making me rush into supporting a method of sleeping that is in some ways more useful than a bed.

I see, the games difficulty is your concern
I feel like minecraft isnt a game focused on making difficulty their priority though, you know? That its more so focused on allowing its playerbase to decide how difficult they want their games to be
Even so, i still do see where youre coming from and do value challenges in minecraft yet i think challenges should remain optional. Bedrock has ingame currency and something thats kind of fun with that is they can easily reward you for doing challenges now, like giving players 100 coins for completeing a game of survival from the start, without ever sleeping without a bed
Id even go as far as giving players special inventory slots to hold trophies that players can place in any minecraft world once theyve earned it. It cant be picked up, just destroyed, and shows your username when a player aims directly at it.
So say youve slain the ender dragon, it will give you a trophy that you can place in any world now, including your friends! If you slay enderdragon on easy you get a bronze trophy, on hard you get a gold trophy, and doing it on hard without ever dying in your survival world gives you a diamond trophy!
Thats how id rather go at difficulty though. Can help keep difficulty seeking players entertained in the game, while also allowing players more on the creative or "play at their own pace" side of the playerbase happy by getting things like being able to sleep anywhere!
This is probably a bad idea but I'll put it here just to add to the brainstorm: what if you could craft a hammock that would have the suggested sleeping mechanics, but in order to use it you'd have to find two trees that are in line with each other and a certain distance range apart to set it up, kinda like a tripwire? Then you'd have the ability to sleep while resource hunting but only under specific conditions which would make it harder to use, and tweaking said conditions could easily balance the hammocks out with beds. Again, not a particularly great idea in itself, but I felt I should contribute it anyway in case someone else can bounce something off of it
I feel a sleeping bag would be a really nice addition to the game for this reason. I don't think sleeping on the ground should be a thing besides in mods.
While being able to sleep without any item (like you suggest) would be too OP, I would support a sleeping bag. It should, however, not reset the insomnia counter (which shouldn't exist, but that's for another thread) and drain the hunger bar by about 10 hunger (5 shanks).

I'd say half the total hunger is too much. I'd rather a debuff that causes Hunger to drain at an accelerated rate for 2 minutes or something instead.
