I plan a about 40 hour speedrun, is it allowed to sleep during the run while the timer is not paused?

Its a general question i think and not game related

Different games have different rules, however for most as long as you keep recording and don’t close the game you should be fine.

thanks for the answer :)

This is a per game issue. Most games use RTA timing, meaning the timer only stops when you're done.

@StefanGose if its a 40 hour speedrun its highly likely that they have a rule that allows you to record it in a few parts (for example: Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories 100%) as to not hurt the runner's physical and mental health, but you still wanna check with that specific community.
