Stay Awake Longer

Description
This mod lets your character stay up for longer before being tired.
I made this, because I found the current times to be short, and also because wakeful was way too strong and was pretty much mandatory on everything.

Keep in mind these values are usually much shorter, because all actions you take make you fall asleep a little bit faster. Fitness skill also affected that, so if you played a character with 0 fitness, the game was literally unplayable.
This mod is to reduce the gap between wakeful and non-wakeful characters, so that you don't have to spend 2 points to feel playable.

Minimum time to get to drowsy, standing still and doing nothing:
VANILLA
-Wakeful: 22 hours
-No traits: 16 hours
-Sleepyhead: 12 hours
In conclusion - 6 and 4 hour difference per level

MODDED
-Wakeful: 22 hours
-No traits: 20 hours
-Sleepyhead: 17 hours
In conclusion - 2 and 2.5 hour difference per level

You can change sandbox setting for no trait to be between 17 to 22 hours.
I'm gonna add one for sleepyhead later.

Can be safely removed and added into saves.

I think I found a bug?? I went to sleep in my truck and woke up near and it being the next night instead of the morning after going to sleep, with my character being still tired,

I once got killed because while I was looting a militar base while a massive horde was outside I got drowsy. This is a must-have mod.

Hello, i started a world with 17 hours awake. Now i realized i would like to be awake more hours. Is there a way to parameter the mod without having to create a new world, so i can chose 20 hours instead of 17 ?
Thanks

Finally. The sleep needs in Project Zomboid are so annoying and not very realistic. You wake up in the morning in this game, and your character reaches maximum sleepiness before the sun has even set yet, and then the player has to sleep 12+ hours to make up for it. As somebody who has had to occasionally skip a night or two of sleep in real life, usually for work related reasons, I find it absurd how quickly the player gets tired in this game. It may not be comfortable, but it's not that difficult to stay awake longer than you are used to, especially when you are in a survival situation and your life depends on it.
