My sim cannot sleep. The kids can, and before she had kids she could, but when they aged to toddlers she couldn't use beds anymore. I have removed mods and it still happens.

I've seen this before but it's been a while.
1. Make sure there are no radios playing. I used to play lullabies for my children and toddlers, but now it keeps them awake.
2. Look for other nearby noisy items.
What I ended up doing:
Ineffective but expesses your annoyance: Pause the game and queue up sleep over and over again until their queue is completely full. Then when they wake up continuously they just go back to bed. Repeat as necessary until their energy bar is full.
Better: Reload the lot. I got one of my perpetually exhausted, refused to sleep Sims to sleep through the night on the first try by going to manage worlds, then back to his household.

I had problems with Sims staying asleep when they have apartments in the City Living area. They do fine in the apartments in Eco Lifestyle area. I think it may be something with neighbors or something with the City Living pack. If my Sim wouldn't stay asleep in her apartment bed, I would save and exit to main menu and reload the game. She would sleep then. After she made money, I moved her into a house in Willow Creek and she never had sleep issues again (except her house is haunted so she gets woken up by ghosts from time to time lol)

posting again about this issue. this is also happening with other tasks like playing piano for example. the sim will sit down for about 5 sim minutes, then walk away. at first, I thought it was her erratic trait but I have found this happens to my other sims as well. help!!!!

Sim won't stay in bed. PS4. Only one sim is affected and using ResetSim seems to fix him.
