Sleeping is completely optional, so a save by sleeping could possibly literally never happen. Imagine if you played for 10+ hours straight, never went to sleep, and your game closed unexpectedly. Bet people would be absolutely furious that an autosave didn't cover their butts.

I know I've seen more than my fair share of threads on the Subnautica forums raging about how that game doesn't have an autosave feature, where people lose countless hours every week because they neglect manual saves that they could do at any moment, yet never do.
