Does day-usage of bed set respawn location anyway?
I want to set a new respawn location, but it is currently day time and I "can only sleep at night", therefore I cannot sleep in my bed. Does trying to use a bed and getting this message set one's respawn location regardless of not actually sleeping, or must I sleep to set my respawn location?

No, according to the wiki, you need to actually sleep in the bed for you spawn to change :
Sleeping on the bed changes your spawn point to the bed.

Once the player has entered the bed, the spawn point is set near the bed.
and fun fact I didn't know, you can actually use the bed during daytime :
At daytime, they can also be used during thunderstorms.

When you sleep in a bed at night, you will reset your spawn point. You can sleep in multiple beds but the last bed that you slept in before you die is where you will respawn. Use the /spawnpoint command. This command allows you to quickly set your spawnpoint with a game command (ie: cheat).How do I sleep without resetting my spawn point?
Use devcommands and type 'sleep' which doesn't require or assign a bed. (won't change an assigned bed you may already have), but of course, is a cheat. In vanilla game, using a new bed will change it to the new active spawn point and move the map marker as such.Do you have to sleep in a bed to set spawn?
There is no need to actually stay in the bed. All that matters is that you actually were laying down. So rightclicking on a bed and getting the message "you can only sleep at night" does not set your spawn. Getting in the bed, and immediately back out sets your spawn.What to Know About TENTS ~ Dayz Standalone 2017 + Locations
