Buy a house. You can deal with vampirism so much more easily if you can retreat into your own house rather than having to find some random place to stay in while the sun is up. Vampirism has four stages; the first gives you a few abilities, but no real detriments other than a slight weakness to fire. However, after 24 hours of not drinking blood, your vampirism goes up to stage two where you take sun damage. The sun damage increases with each day that you do not drink blood, so finding a place of your own is a big help. The best house to buy is also the cheapest; for 2000 gold you can buy a shack in the Imperial City Waterfront, close to the beggars you will need later on. You can buy this house from Vinicia Melissacia at the Office of Imperial Commerce in the Imperial City Market District. In addition, certain downloadable content, such as the "The Vile Lair", can be substituted for a house, although you may need to pay for upgrades to it - see further down for more information on using downloadable content to aid you in handling vampirism.
Drink blood. As a vampire, you need to drink blood to keep energized. No matter which stage of vampirism you are at, whenever you bite someone's neck you will restart at the lowest level of vampirism where you do not take sun damage. You can bite someone's neck by going up to a sleeping person and pressing the action/activate button. Select "feed" to bite their neck and in a few seconds you'll be refreshed. The easiest prey are beggars - they sleep in the open, are easily accessible, are found in most cities and are often not around other people when resting, so your neck biting goes unnoticed and therefore, does not incur a fine. From your house in the Imperial City Waterfront, the easiest beggar to feed on is Puny Ancus, who is directly behind Methredhel's house (just up the road from yours) and right next to the garden where Armand Christophe meets new Thieves Guild members (behind the abandoned shack next to Methredhel's house). Puny goes to sleep every night at 10pm (like all beggars), giving you roughly 2 hours before Armand Christophe enters the area. Sneak up to Puny (but be careful not to be seen; if the sneaking eye is bright someone can see you) and feed on him. This can be done with anyone, but this location is the easiest.
