Nights

The Nights are the levels in the game, Try To Fall Asleep. Each night is comprised of two phases, the falling asleep phase and the dreaming phase.

Falling Asleep
This is the main gameplay of Try to Fall Asleep. The player plays this part similarly to Five Nights at Freddy's, where they have to fall asleep before time runs out. Try to Fall Asleep is unique in that while FNAF is all about managing and being aware of your surroundings, TTFA requires you to black out and ignore what's happening in order to fall asleep.

In this phase, the player has an info panel at the bottom left, and is given a simple tutorial of new mechanics by AB, his medical assistance robot. The player needs to close their eyes to raise their sleep level to 100, while managing their stress which is caused by hallucinations. If the player's stress reaches 100 or the clock reaches 4 am, Project "Murgs", one of the monsters, will jump up from the foot of the bed and scare the player, and the night is failed.
