You usually weak up at 6AM, but if you worked late last night, you might oversleep depend on how exhausted you are. One day in gameplay is about 12 minutes in real life. Each season has 30 days, and each day has 24 hours, and each hour has 60 minutes. There are 4 seasons in the game: spring, summer, fall, and winter.
