I just downloaded the new experimental last night and sleeping takes about 10 minutes, anything that involves an extended period of in game time makes the game chug like nobody's business.
Never had this problem to this extent in previous versions.
Anybody else getting this issue? I haven't played in almost a year, so I have no idea if this is a known thing or just me.

I've been noticing this as well. I'm not sure if it happens 100% but it's often quite slow.
I have the sleeping issue with my month old experimental as well as new, it seems certain locations lag less for me as I assume some of the lag is from calculating the idle movements of nearby stuff.
Hmm. The only thing I can think of that's been added recently that might be running while you're sleeping is improved pathfinding for some creatures.
I actually went on the github last night and noticed that there was a "PR" (pull request?) regarding increased lag times. Not sure if someone has tried to tackle it yet, but it's out there...
Where you near any NPCs, neutral animals trapped nearby, or hostiles who couldn't reach you?
I experience this issue particularly when there are friendly NPCs around and particularly when we are in a vehicle together. It seems to me like the NPCs bog down resources during times when time is being accelerated, like sleeping or crafting, because they are possibly still trying to do something every turn of the same, probably dependent or at least made worse on some environmental factors (like vehicles).
I've tried in a multitude of different locations, including underground without any creatures, NPCs, anything with AI. It all lags, tried with and without wander spawns.
I'm on #5690 and for me it feels like the game is faster, with less lag. Partially it depends on if there are other creatures nearby, but sleeping is usually about a minute or two of real-life time for me.
