to get everything they want done during the day, players will have to put a lot into every available minute. But for those familiar with the genre andHarvest Moongames specifically, it might seem like the days inWinds of Anthosare a little bit shorter than they were in previous titles.
How Long is a Day in Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos?
A day in Winds of Anthos lasts from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM.Each houris about45 seconds long, meaning thatone day is 10 minutes long. Afull 24-hour dayis about18 minutes long, from 6:00 AM to the next 6:00 AM. This is shorter than mostHarvest Moontitles; they usually have a one second is one minute form of game time, making a day 24 real minutes long. This means that the days are in fact a little shorter thanHMfans and fans of otherfarming simulation gamesmight be used to.

For example, inMy Time at Portia,players have to be in bed by 2 AM, or else they fall asleep in the middle of whatever they are doing. But in mostHarvest Moongames, players can go to sleep at any time, but they will not always wake fully rested. InWinds of Anthos, sleep works like this:
How Does the Sleepless Debuff Work in Winds of Anthos?
If players stay up too late or stay up all night long, they will getthe Sleepless Debuff. Sleepless means that players will notregain their staminaovernight, and they will use stamina at a much higher rate when running,mining for things like silver ore, or doing other activities. Sleepless can really ruin plans for the day, so players should cook up a lot of foods that will temporarily dispel it, or they should attempt to ensure to get to sleep on time.
