Do the sleep stuns benefit antags much, would be my question. I feel like the weakness of the sleeper stun is other people taking notice, and since they're in public areas and antags are almost always the minority, it disproportionately benefits the crew as an offensive tool rather than antagonists. Which seems a bit weird. All I have to go on are my personal experiences though so if others can confirm they've had success antagging with the sleeper it'd sway my opinion of them.
Personally I feel like they don't really do much of anything in a given round besides be a boring way to avoid dealing with addictions; or circumvent any interesting cases of lack of resources by providing infinite chems. Otherwise they wind up just being psuedo-cryopods for the shuttle when people want to 'skip the epilogue'.
Ostensibly what they're supposed to be for is slowing down someone's death when they get brought into a busy medbay, but as a frequent doctor player they do not tend to help much in that regard for whatever reasons. Maybe instead there could be stasis pods where the sleepers are, and they could probably manipulate the lifeloop multiplier to effectively slow down body processes, or speed it up if it's emagged.
