Tomorrow, the next big update for Disney Dreamlight Valley arrives on all platforms. And while players will be happy with all the quality-of-life changes and new content being added to the cozy life sim, the characters of Dreamlight Valley probably aren’t happy to hear that they’ll no longer be allowed to sleep.

Launched in 2022 across Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC, Dreamlight Valley is Disney and Gameloft’s spin on the cozy little village game. The game’s mix of iconic Disney characters like Mickey Mouse and Animal Crossing-like town management led to it being a hit, and Gameloft has continued to support the game with paid and free updates. And Dreamlight Valley’s next big update might be one of its best. Well, unless you live there.
On August 19, Gameloft released the full patch notes for Dreamlight Valley’s “Dapper Delights” update. While there are many positive changes and quality-of-life improvements in the free update, the one that stuck out to many players is the news that after August 21, characters in Dreamlight Valley will no longer sleep. This means that players will always be able to chat with Mickey Mouse or Goofy, regardless of what time it is.
Previously, all characters had different sleep schedules. Some players struggled to complete specific character quests or challenges because their real-life jobs made it nearly impossible to chat with some characters who slept in late or went to bed early.

Now, while many players are excited that they’ll be able to hang out and chat with all characters whenever they want, it does seem to imply that your Dreamlight Valley residents are going to slowly go mad from sleep deprivation. Every single hour of every single day, Donald Duck must be awake and ready for a player to show up and ask him to come pick some fruits or dig some holes.
Ironic, that those living in DREAMlight Valley will soon be forbidden from sleeping and experiencing peace.
