	AI ~~have their eyes closed now while sleeping~~. This is ~~using the pain anim as a place holder at the moment, since we don't have a suitable anim yet (~~sleeping ~~looks like a quite painful experience now~~...)		* Bug 5268: An AI sits down in a chair. When he goes to leave, he gets stuck on chair, treadmilling. (This is not sleeping-specific. Seen in 2.07, "resolved" in name only. No viable code solution found, only map-tweaking workaround.)
			* [https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/9082-newbie-darkradiant-questions/&do=findComment&comment=477150 Frost Salamander reported] that sleeping AI (in chair or bed, with usual path nodes) sometimes die if KO'd. They seem to taking damage which varies dramatically, possibly from KO-caused interaction with nearby geometry. (That interaction could be a simple bounce; in the past, KOs of sleepers caused other oddities: clipping through bed; a 1-frame reversions to an AF pose). Suggested workarounds:
	~~Another problem is~~ that ~~the bounding box stays behind and is solid when the~~ AI ~~goes to~~ bed.		** move the chair or bench further away from other geometry such as walls.
			** don't let the AI touch the bed or chair (causing an undesirable air gap).
	~~When you~~ KO a ~~sleeping AI~~, ~~they may drop down~~ through ~~the~~ bed~~, pop back~~ to ~~standing, like they did in Thief,~~		** use a moveable chair - though if the player moves the chair, the AI can end up sitting on air.

	~~Also this is probably unrelated but might be contributing to this problem: I~~'~~m noticing that KO'd~~ AI ~~are sometimes~~(?) ~~flashing into the AF pose for just a frame, then back to the pose they were in before KO'ing. You can see it if you watch really closely~~.

	~~There is also~~ a ~~problem when they see~~ the player ~~while laying down - they jump up for a moment~~, ~~then finsih putting themselves to bed and then finally get~~ up ~~to chase the player~~.

			'''NOTE''': If you use this method instead of the path nodes, when the AI wakes up it will pivot as if getting off of a bed. To avoid this, use the path nodes method instead.

	In contrast to the system used in version 2.05 and earlier, it is possible to interrupt other sitting behaviour like reading or writing with the sleeping behaviour. The earlier versions only allowed for an AI to directly sit down and sleep, then wake up and stand up again.

	~~This is done by targeting~~ a path_sleep entity ~~which then~~ targets a path_wait ~~to define~~ how long ~~they~~ will sleep before getting up again.		First, carefully position a path_corner relative to where the AI will sleep. Have this target a path_sleep entity. This in turn targets a path_wait that defines how long the AI will sleep before getting up again.

			== Sleeping Warnings ==

			In TDM 2.08, warnings have been added when an AI tries to play a sleeping animation in the wrong place. The warning looks like this:

			"WARNING: <AI name> (x y z) can't sleep: too far from sleeping location <name of path_corner> (x y z)"

			The first x/y/z vector is the AI's origin, and the second is the location of the path_corner where sleeping is supposed to take place. If the AI starts the mission sleeping (using the "sleeping" spawnarg), then no path_corner is involved, and no name will be given.

			To correct this problem, examine the spot where the AI is supposed to sleep. Ill-used monster_clip is usually the problem.
