You know, I actually wouldn't have a problem being forced to find
shelter before the coming of the day, and not being able to play a
vampire character during the day.

Actually, it really sounds pretty cool, and could lead to some
exciting/fearful moments if dawn is coming and you don't know if
you're really going to be able to make it home.  :)

Of course, I can only speak for myself, and I would definately want
the ability to play another character while the vampire was
sleeping.  And then of course you have play time issues, such as
what happens if its always daytime in the game when I have a chance
to play.

Honestly though, I don't think you can dismiss ideas like that out
of hand.
