Keep in mind you don't have to tell your colonists when to sleep.  Just set them to "anything" and they'll sleep when they're tired.  Although I don't know if nightowls are smart enough to sleep in the daytime...

Hm, that's a cool idea. How does it work out in the long term? Do they all seem to pick a schedule and stick to it? Drift about randomly? Do they have longer or shorter wake or sleep phases?

As a person who has everyone on anything for all except six hours a day (work period) I can say that, well, they all kind of go to bed at the same time. Give or take an hour or two. In extreme cases though, you can have colonists sleeping and waking up WAY off schedule from everyone else. Due to them doing things like going for a walk halfway across the map at the end of the day.

My guess what happened: the hit combined with existing injuries caused enough damage/movement penalty that the pawn was downed. Then the storyteller did the random roll to kill downed pawns immediately and he failed it.

Bleedout is something that can definitely happen but vanilla bleed rates from wounds are incredibly low and the total bleed rate is capped at 100%/day so it'll always take at least 24 hours before a pawn dies of blood loss, no matter how grievous the injury.

I agree, the spine and torso injuries would have had him INSANELY slow already, and the hit in the leg must have been the last straw.

I have nothing to contribute here because most of my colonies are pits of insanity and despair but I would like to welcome Sumail here to the forums. This is a good place

(and I just noticed this is my 400th post so yay)

So, take care of your colonists organs!

Train some yorkshire terriers in attack and send them in?

How about taking the suggestion from our esteemed Godeveloper?

Fair enough, Tynan IS my mesiah after all.
