I sometimes spot soldier sleeping on ground in barracks, while there are empty beds in the room. Although it's not a big problem, obviously that's not how it should go.

[Sirbug]

In barrack settings there's an option to allow them to sleep in barracks. You probably toggled it on by accident.

hah, sorry, I didn't make it clear!

The barracks isn't the one where they train, but the one with six beds where they should sleep.

Most of the time, they sleep in bed, but sometimes they sleep on the ground, next to the bed.

Less serious.
If you were given a choice between a dirt floor and this wood bed here. What would you pick?

More serious. I guess you have as many beds as soldiers and the beds are all 'inside' the room markings?

  It must be a very amusing picture, but that website is "404" at the moment! I guess it must be a bed menacing with granite spike and decorated with porcupine spine!

Have as many beds as solidiers: No, but there have never been more than three soldiers sleeping simultaneously, and there are 6 beds.

All beds are inside the room: Yes, the room covers the whole 4x5 chamber.

It's a wooden board suspended a foot off the ground, no bedding just wood (like a true dwarven bed).

It might be similar to the archery target problem, in that if you want more than one bed used you have to designate each bed as a barracks individually and mark them all for the squad to use...

I know that at least recently I've had soldiers sleeping in beds just fine, but not quite the most recent release. Still, it doesn't sound like the archery target problem. It would be fairly simple to test though. Just wait for a soldier to sleep in a bed and see if the bed being slept in is the one the barracks is designated from. If it isn't then it's not the archery target problem, if it is test a few more times to make sure.

Actually I think I can get that image to post:

You cant.  Well, you could try lining every tile of  the barracks theyll sleep in with either beds or items that block travel (statues).

Great idea!

[pisskop]

let me know if it works.

Somehow it works! Macelord Lorbam Tincloaks insisted to sleep on the last bit of floor when a bed was shoved under him during his sleep. This is how he thought about it:

Thanks for description! This is how I think dwarven bed (made of tower-cap) may look:

I have a new idea. I'll remove some of the beds, and replace with cage traps. Those who do not sleep in bed will be caught.

Please for screenshot with your baracks and descriptions of those, who has caugh by cage traps. We will have data to analyze!
