The Bed is an article of Furniture that is required in order to sleep. It also functions as a spawn point when players die. It must be placed on a foundation or ceiling.
To sleep on a Bed, players must activate it (default E). The time of day will be displayed, and players can wake up by clicking on the "Wake Up" button. When players sleep, a whole night will pass in seconds. Player stats like hunger and thirst will, however, continue to deplete as if the players were awake, so players must refresh themselves by eating and drinking in the morning.
Sleeping on a Bed for just a second can help to trigger certain seasonal changes that are delayed to prevent them from popping into existence while the player is up and about. A common example is the freezing or unfreezing of water at the beginning and end of the winter season.
While a player sleeps, production such as ore extraction or smelting on forges will pause until the player wakes up. This is by design to prevent abuse of the sleeping mechanism for the purpose of speeding up production.
To set any Bed as a spawn point, the player must aim the cursor at the Bed and press 
. This will make the player spawn at the Bed's location upon dying.
The recipe for the Bed is found in the Placeables section of the Build Menu under Furniture.
