Press t and type /time hoursperday [number] will change the total number of hours in a day. So instead of 24 it can be anything really. You'll still get shifting day/night cycle depending on your time of year but it will give you more to play with. It'll make those beds come a lot more in useful. And then there's /time speed [number] (default 60), which sets how fast those hours pass. So the default length of a full day is like 45 minutes I think. So if you take that down to /time speed 46 I believe you get an hour IRL per in-game day. Again, won't change the day/cycle itself but it will give you more time to get stuff done. Then you can sleep through the night. I have historically done a lot of 1 hour IRL days, and they give you a nice extra buffer to play with, especially in the early game.

No. You still get the same number of hours asleep. Not sure about the number of hours in a day. There's probably some adjustments you can make in the back end but I'm not good at those unfortunately. My recommendation is to make yourself a proper bed as soon as possible if you can't luck out on an aged one in a ruin, and only go to sleep when it gets properly dark. If you head to bed at sunset you'll wake up at 4am wondering why it's still dark outside (my sleep pattern in Vintage Story is as bad as my one in real life, haha)

Those that do are the "short aged bed or the one that looks like a bunk bed. Those are just decorations. You'll know the right one because you should be able to pick it right up and it lets you sleep for I believe 9.5 hours. Plenty to get you through those long cold winder nights. Good luck out there!
