i know it's complex but i think you'll manage
To be 100% sure it were 8h, use Latikais or Enders client (which you should do anyways, as it's a torture to use the vanilla client)
Go to the xtended menu ("x") and then timers,
add a timer for 8h and start it right before going to sleep with that char.
The timers only take server time into account and thereby ignore downtime, so you can be 100% sure it were 8h.
