Is it possible to skip past night in Minecraft single player?

Question

I have an essentially brand-new Minecraft world. Problem is, I haven't found anything I can use to make light yet, so as soon as night falls I get totally lost. And I then have to sit still with the application open waiting for dawn so I can figure out where the Hell I am. (I can't even alt-tab out, since that pauses the game.)

Is there any way to skip night so I can get back to trying to do something?

Answer

Yes, use a bed. Build it like this (spoiler, hover above the grey box):

Three times wool above three times wooden planks

Also, you can use a Furnace as temporary light source and as by-product obtain charcoal:

Get some wood, build a workbench and there a wooden pickaxe. Dig down until you reach stone, get 8, build a Furnace, use unprocessed wood as input and wooden planks as fuel. You obtain light plus charcoal for torches.
