That doesn't really bother me, though. Kind of a "so what?" thing.
Doesn't that make you not want to use the sleep spell, because enemies can both wake up an ally and still attack you? Then that woken up enemy can take their turn, waking up another enemy and still attacking you? All of which makes the Sleep spell so much more ineffective than other similarly leveled spells, or even perhaps basic actions..?

Just like with shove, I can't count the number of times I've used Sleep on one hand, because 0 requires no counting. There are other reasons I would opt to not use Sleep over say Magic Missile, or Flaming Bolt. Why CC it if I can simply kill it instead? It achieves the same end, removing that mob from combat, with 0 risk of a party member, or another mob, breaking the CC. IF we want NPCs using the same rules as PCs, then some of this is to be expected, yes?
