# Sleeping In Vehicles

You can sleep inside vehicles by pressing and holding <mark style="color:yellow;">**X**</mark> (keyboard) or <mark style="color:yellow;">**D-Pad Right**</mark> (controller). These keybindings can be changed in-game via Mod Settings.

To sleep, the vehicle must be:

* Stationary
* Not on a road or highway
* Enclosed (cannot sleep while on a motorcycle)

By default, sleeping in a vehicle is less restful than sleeping in a bed. Nerve does not recover, and the amount of Energy you can recover is limited, which prevents clearing the Stimulant status from consumables.

Night City's gangs are always on the lookout for an easy target. You may be ambushed while sleeping in your vehicle.

Special compatibility has been added to support [**Enhanced Vehicle System**](https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/11765). With it, your car will automatically shut off when sleeping, and automatically turn on again after waking up. It's very immersive; try it!
