'''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.
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 either awaken when it becomes full, or will awaken at midnight. 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.▼
Sending a Sim to [[work]] or [[school]] with low energy will harm their performance. While they won't collapse from exhaustion away from home, they may do so as soon as they return. In ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', a Sim that gets very tired while eating will fall asleep face first in their food. Oddly enough, they will still eat it afterwards.▼
In ''[[The Sims Social]]'', this need was renamed to '''Sleep''', possibly to avoid confusion with energy in that game.

If a Sim needs a quick boost of energy, they can drink coffee or espresso. [[Child]]ren cannot do this, but with ''[[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]]. Sims can buy an espresso from the [[espresso bar]]{{Vgversion|Unleashed}}{{Vgversion|TS2:U}} while on [[community lot]]s, but they may be better off going home instead, as coffee and espresso decreases bladder, and may have other side effects.{{Vgversion|TS2}}

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.

▲Sending a Sim to [[work]] or [[school]] with low energy will harm their performance. While they won't collapse from exhaustion away from home, they may do so as soon as they return. In ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', a Sim that gets very tired while eating will fall asleep face first in their food. Oddly enough, they will still eat it afterwards. Just like with any motive, Sims will reject or won't complete certain tasks that are physically or mentally demanding.
