Animal Hospital (Anomaly) Sanity Guide
Sanity is your health meter. Reach 0% and you die. Here is what restores it, what drains it, and how classes change the numbers.
Quick answer
Every player starts at about 60–65% sanity (some classes add more). Coffee restores 15 (5 per sip), chocolate 60 (20 per bite), and Mint Tea 15–30 over time. Work also pays: Secretaries gain 1 per check-in, Doctors and Surgeons gain 1 per healed patient, completing a surgery gives 1, and tasing an anomaly gives 2.
What drains sanity
| Source | Amount |
|---|---|
| Job stress (passive) | -1 every 50 seconds |
| Tasing a normal patient | -15 |
| Being tased by a teammate (both players) | -2 each |
| Shooting a teammate | -6 |
| Picking up a cursed photo too early | -10 |
| Looking at the Stalker | -10 |
| Grabbed by the Bed Monster | -10, then -6 every 2 seconds |
| Hiders attacking you | -10 |
| Mimic bites | -6 per bite (~every 0.5–1s) |
| Asking the Head Banger to leave | -20 |
| Camera Monster jumpscare | -20 |
| Being near a Ghost | -2, plus -2 per second nearby |
| Standing near fire | -1 to -3 per second |
| Putting out ritual candles without Eye Drops / IV Drops / Coffee | -1 to -3 per candle |
Low-sanity warning signs
- Below ~35% sanity: the music slows down and the environment desaturates.
- Below ~30% sanity: posters in Rooms 1, 2 and 7 start to change.
- At 0%: the player dies.
Class effects
Psychologist doubles all sanity changes — both gains and losses. Intern and other high-sanity classes raise your starting value; Secretary / Doctor / Surgeon earn sanity by doing their job. See Classes for the full breakdown.
FAQ
Common questions about this topic.
How do I increase sanity in Animal Hospital?
Coffee (+15), chocolate (+60), Mint Tea (+15–30), and class actions: Secretary check-ins, Doctor/Surgeon heals, surgery completion, and tasing anomalies all restore sanity.
What happens when sanity reaches 0?
The player dies.
Does sanity matter in multiplayer?
Yes — and teammates can cost you sanity: getting tased by a teammate drains both of you, and shooting teammates drains you.
Is Animal Hospital Roblox's sanity a health bar?
Effectively yes: it is the player health meter, restored with consumables and drained by stress, events and enemies.
