I had a similar problem when I was playing an earth mephit. As an outsider, I didn't need to sleep or eat. As a mephit I had fast healing 2, so hit points were not a problem. My character was GO GO GO, but the humans kept wanting to stop to sleep and eat and regain spells/healing. It was so *frustrating* (for my character - I myself rather enjoyed his frustration).
We just did the usual fast forwarding thing - you stop for the night, heal up, and *bam*, it's the next day.
If you want to craft at night, get a portable whatchamacallit, and use the spell rope trick to have a place to make noise without keeping everyone else awake and/or attracting unwanted attention.
