I quit Stardew the first time for the reason you just said. The day/night cycle was unforgiving. I started it again a few weeks ago when 1.5 came out. This time I'm using mods. I usually avoid mods because it feels like cheating, it doesn't feel like an accomplishment to succeed at an arbitrarily modified version of a game. But since this game isn't competitive, and mods make the difference between having a game to enjoy and skipping it altogether, I have no problem with mods. There's one that lets you pause/unpause the day so it can be as long as you want.
