Sugar
From Twilight Heroes Wiki
Introduction
Sugar is one of the three consumables in Twilight Heroes, the others being Caffeine and Vegetable. Consuming sugar increases your Bedtime, allowing you more time to play.
Using sugar after casting Sugar Purifier increases the time gained by 20% + 3S%, where S is the number of 
skill points invested into the skill. For each item consumed, 15 minutes of the effect are removed, and the following line is added after the use message:
- The sugar purifier makes the sweet intensely sugary.
Each sugar item has a size in "units" of sugar. You can consume 6 such units per day. Trying to consume more will get you the message:
- Ugh. You don't feel very good right now. You don't even want to think about eating any more candy today. Maybe not until next month, even.
Trying to multi-use too much sugar will get you the message:
- That's way more candy than you should eat in one night. You're old enough to know better than than to even consider that much sugar. Yuck.
Trying to multi-use sugar when you are under diet restrictions gets you the message:
- You have opted to go without sugar this run, so you can't have that. Sorry, no cheating on the diet.

Notes
- It is hard to compare items which consume contain both sugar and caffeine to items that contain only one of them. The values used in the table above assume that each caffeine unit yields 17.5 minutes, such as the amount given by Mister Tea and other standard caffeine items. Other useful comparisons might be:
| Caffeine yield/unit | Sugar yield/unit |
|---|---|
| 17.5 (e.g. Mister Tea) | 12.67 |
| 18 (e.g. oil can coffee) | 11.67 |
- The sugar mechanic was introduced during Halloween 2008.
