- Completing activities progresses time
The best and most obvious way to pass time in Zenless Zone Zero is to simply engage with its various activities. In almost all cases, you'll be able to complete one activity per scheduled period. For example, completing a Commission on the Hollow Deep Dive System will progress time.
Here are some of the ways you can pass time:
- Complete a Commission on the Hollow Deep Dive System
- Complete a VR Mission at the Hollow Investigation Association
Remember, there are four scheduled periods per day, so you could theoretically complete four quests in a row before you'll need to rest.

- At midnight you'll need to rest
Midnight is the final time period in your schedule, and the only time when you're able to rest. Sleeping on either the Random Play sofa or in your bedroom will progress time to the next, starting the cycle afresh. You can't choose to sleep at any other time.
It is possible to complete more Commissions and VR Missions at midnight if you want to, although in some instances you'll be forced to sleep immediately afterwards.

Unlike in Genshin Impact, where you can manually fast-forward time, there's no way to skip time in Zenless Zone Zero. The only way to transition between different time periods is to engage with different activities, as outlined above.
