Project Zomboid servers typically disable sleep for players by default. This also means that sleeping as a requirement is disabled. However, users may want to rest or recover from fatigue/injuries by sleeping, which can be done by allowing players to sleep while still keeping the requirement disabled. This provides an effective way to rest and remove negative moodlets, while avoiding making it a lengthy requirement, as fast-forwarding is not usually available on servers.

3. Go to the Files tab.

4. Find the following directory: /home/container/.cache/Server
