Is sleeping important or just a nice way to restore health/pass time?

Guy gave me a hut but just said 'it's over there'. Can anyone be a little more specific?

THANKS!
It's pretty much just a way to pass time (which can actually be important, as the nights in Gothic are pretty dark- not good for exploration).
Also, other people are asleep during the night, and don't take kindly to being woken up.

I had trouble finding my hut too, and had to look up a map on the internet in the end. I decided that the guards would have lead me to it if need be. Which camp are you in?

The hut Guy points out is by the campfire in the area above the arena. I have attached a screenshot showing its location.

Note that you can also sleep in the huts of named characters like Diego (they generally don't yell at you). You can even sleep in a bed where someone does yell at you as long as you're fast enough choosing the sleep time before they start beating you up. :)

You occasionally have to wait until a certain time to progress a quest, so beds are very useful in those cases, but other than that the time of day doesn't matter.

One thing I should add is that sleeping can be used to restore your health and mana without having to eat food or drink potions. If you play the game a certain way, you'll probably end up with so much ore and trade goods that you can justify using up your supplies; in the beginning, though, it can be useful if you really don't want to use what little food/potions you have.

I miss that! In Gothic III (what I'm currently playing), you can sleep on anyone's bed and they just stand there all night. Even the orcs don't mind!

Very true; its suspenseful too! Can I make it to a bed with half damage (generally, one bite or hit) before I'm hit again. You take so much damage early that one goes through meat and healing potions very fast and you are too weak to take on a lot of the beasts for more meat.

PS - it still amazes me that the unnamed one can out run a wolf.

Could be worse. Would you rather the orc got into bed with you?

I'm suing! I'm going to have nightmares for the rest of my life! :)
