Since its introduction, the bed has fundamentally opposed the existing structure and meaning of Minecraft. There have been many steps along the road from Beta's true survival experience to the modern 'the only way I can die is if I do something incredibly stupid'. The bed was one of those steps. Skipping the night takes away interesting decisions and risk from the player. Beds should not be the most powerful option for self-defence.
However, having control over the day-night cycle is greatly useful to the player, and the intensity of early nights will - and should - fade away. So instead of removing this advantageous mechanic from the game, this mod simply withholds it in a lore/thematically vanilla+ manner. You may still craft a bed. You may still get in it. You may still fall asleep. But something awaits you there now. She awaits you. Do not fall into her palm, as all others have. Should she be felled, your dreams will be safe to you once again.
Actual Functionality The mod is aware of whether or not an ender dragon has died, once it has, it is functionless. Before then, players attempting to sleep in a bed will be met with a series of warning signs, followed by their execution (which won't damage armor and ignores totems), just before they are able to sleep through the night.This mod competes with other sleep-nerfing mods, most commonly ones that disable it entirely, and directly opposes mods that increase their potency.
WARNING: This mod is currently untested with other sleep-altering mods. It is possible (or even likely) that there exists compatibility issues. You can report issues here. I should cite these incompatibilities here and resolve them, but as a casual developer I make no guarantees.
