  I don't have anything against needing to sleep next to a heat source but it appears to be overly fixated on campfires at the moment. I tried sleeping with my head next to an active stone furnace and while that's good enough to raise my temperature, the game insisted a bring a campfire inside my wood house before I could sleep. I haven't tried sleeping next to a fireplace yet, though that's how I got through the arctic in Beta 3.
  
  Deployable items that generate heat like active fireplaces, furnaces, stoves, braziers and the like should meet the heat source requirement for sleeping. If some of those do already, the message should be reworded to say you need to sleep next to an active heat source, it currently calls out campfires specifically.

  Also the range to a bed is quite small now. I have a 2 story house with 2x8 floors with a campfire in the middle on the ground floor.
  A bit strange to me that I can't sleep right above it and 1 floor tile to the left...

  In theory for BW5, the range was extended for heat sources in regards to sleep requirement. Considering the various ways a house can be built, the distance requirement should be removed and just use shelter and no extreme temperature (too cold or too hot) as the two requirements. There isn't a good reason to force proximity to a heat source when the temperature within the shelter is within a good range for sleep.

  At the moment, you cannot have a truly modern structure without open flames, as the air con and the heater do not permit sleep. This spoils the emersion somewhat.
