{{Quote|There are only so many hours a Sim can go before needing a good night's sleep. Of course, a caffeinated beverage or quick nap can substitute in a pinch.|''The Sims 3''}}
'''Energy''' is a [[motive]] in [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]] that slowly decreases while [[Sim]]s are awake. If a Sim runs out of energy, he/she will collapse from exhaustion and fall asleep on the floor.
In ''[[The Sims Social]]'', this need was renamed to '''Sleep''', possibly to avoid confusion with energy in that game.
==Replenishing==
Sims can replenish their energy by sleeping. [[Toddler]]s will awaken whenever their energy bar reaches 100%. If an older Sim's energy bar reaches 100% before midnight, the Sim will awaken when it becomes full. Otherwise, [[child]]ren, [[teen]]s, [[young adult]]s, and [[adult]]s will usually sleep until 6:00 am (06:00) unless they are awakened earlier, though they will automatically wake up when their energy bar is at 100% if they have other actions queued up by the player. In addition, if Sims with full energy bars have [[autonomous reaction]]s pushed on them, they may wake up. [[Elder]]s who are asleep past midnight will usually awaken shortly after their energy bar reaches 100%. In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', the player can drag the action handle to specify a time for the Sim to wake up.
If a Sim needs a quick boost of energy, they can drink coffee or espresso. [[Child]]ren cannot do this, but in ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'', they can get some energy by drinking hot chocolate from the '''[[Coffee#Perfect Packets Hot Chocolate Maker|Perfect Packets Hot Chocolate Maker]]'''. Sims can get coffee from a [[coffeemaker]] or an [[Coffeemaker#Espresso machines|espresso machine]], or buy an espresso from the [[espresso bar]]{{Vgversion|TS:U}}{{Vgversion|TS2:U}}{{Vgversion|TS2:AL}} while on [[community lot]]s. Drinking coffee, espresso, or hot chocolate will decrease the [[bladder]] motive as a consequence, however.
Sims also gain a small amount of energy from sitting down.{{Vgversion|TS}} Sims can nap on lounge chairs, recliners, and sofas, but it doesn't replenish energy as effectively as sleeping in a [[bed]], and active Sims may wake up before they're fully refreshed.{{Vgversion|TS}}{{Vgversion|TS2}} In ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]'', Sims will automatically wake up from a nap after a few hours, with a moodlet that counteracts the effects of low energy.
==Consequences==
Sims will pass out when they run out of energy. They will collapse onto the floor, or will fall asleep standing up if there is not enough room. In ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', a Sim who passes out while eating will fall asleep face-first into their food. Sims cannot pass out on [[community lot]]s.{{Vgversion|TS1}}{{Vgversion|TS2}} Sims cannot pass out while at [[work]] or [[school]], but may do so as soon as they are finished. Like with most motives, Sims may refuse to perform certain interactions if they are too tired.
While Sims will not [[death|die]] from exhaustion,
