It is crucial that you get food and eat in Citizen Sleeper to maintain your energy bars otherwise you will not survive for long. This How to get Food guide will tell you how to go about obtaining the sustenance your character craves.
One of the clocks in The Eye is called Local Knowledge, and it can be found in the Bright Market. The two actions that grant Local Knowledge progress are 'Ask for Directions' and 'Explore the Market' and you should work towards earning at least two ticks on that clock. When you manage to do this a new location will appear in the vicinity of Bright Market called Emphis's Stall. This is a street food stand which you can visit to pick up some complimentary nourishment that will replenish three ticks on the energy bar. You will be able to return to Emphis's Stall in later cycles to get more food but on these subsequent visits you will have to pay 15 cryo.
You will be able to obtain food by going through the Rotunda which is achieved by getting at least two ticks on the Dock Watcher Clock. This can be earned through the 'Steal Dock Plans' and 'Explore the Rotunda' actions. Getting progress on the Dock Watcher Clock will give you access to the Rotunda's Overlook Bar where you will be able to buy rations that restore two ticks on the energy bar for 10 cryo.
Make sure you open Emphis's Stall and the Overlook Bar as soon as possible so you have access to the food they offer.
