Why cant you sleep in the forest?

About the sleep; you can only sleep if your character is tired, not like minecraft when you can sleep until it's night. To see the "sleep bar", check the shelter, there is a circle with the moon inside. You'll be able to sleep when the circle is 100% white.

Why can't I rest in my shelter?

Day 2, Built a hunting shelter day 1 per the tutorial. Now it's night time on day 2. I am standing in front of the shelter with absolutely no option to "sleep". All I get is an icon above the shelter of a little house with a door that changes colors when I cycle with R. This should not be rocket science. What do I have to do to "rest" in my shelter? I have tried the "y" key, the "z" key as per suggested in precious forum posts and nada. Not that it matters as I am about to die of thirst and there is no option to drink the water at the pond right next to me and my raid catcher is worthless since it hasn't rained.
