How to unlock the Simulation Hypothesis achievement in Outer Wilds - Definitive Guide
Simply grab an artifact from the Stranger, then head back to Timber Hearth or any other planet in the system, find a campfire, and doze off with the button. Nothing will happen (other than you going to sleep), but the achievement should pop.
Not sure where to find an artifact? If you dock your ship in the landing bay on the sunward side of the Stranger, there's one very close by. Head in through the airlock (where you shine your light on a rotating column to line up the rings with the doorway), and once you're on the beach, turn right. You can take the raft if you want, or just boost over to the next beach, where there's a small cabin covered in Ghost Matter. To avoid the Ghost Matter, go all the way around to the back, and then underneath the cabin. Boost up through the broken floor, and you'll find two artifacts for the taking.

Just to save others the bother of trying, this does not appear to work at the camp fires on the stranger, you have to take it away from there to a fire on another planet like Beta describes in the guide.

Right. The fires on the Stranger are magical green fire. You need to use the artifact at a "normal" campfire on one of the other planets for the achievement.

Easy one but a bit boring: take any artifact you find (inside the house with the ghost matter or the laboratory are the easiest to get) and go back to your ship.
Ride the ship to a planet where you know there is a campfire (Timber Heart for example) and sleep with the artifact near the campfire.
