Duplicants sleeping in disabled cots

I noticed carbon dioxide was covering my duplicant's cots, so I disabled all the cots. All the duplicants decided to sleep in the cots. I tried saving and going to main menu and back in (in reality I forgot to take a screenshot) but they still went in the cots. If it may have anything to do with it: I play on steam and have the Spaced Out! dlc, but I didn't install it, so it's supposed to act exactly like the base game, but I don't know if Steam has weird code. If needed I can take picture of whole base and anywhere I had stuff I selected to build, as I probably wont be playing until this is fixed, as I don't want my duplicants to die as there is NO oxygen where they are.

Steps to Reproduce

Have to do: Build cots. Assign cot to duplicant. Disable cot. Wait for sleepy time. (Forgot the schedule time name, purple thing in scheduling time)

May have to do/To get same conditions: Carbon dioxide covering the cots, no oxygen. Cots not in a barrack, luxury barrack, or private bedroom. Never have changed the schedule, not even when this glitch happened. Cycle 2. No dupes had skill level ups, outfit changes, or were renamed.

Here's exact duplicants: One Dupe was Camille, Interest: Researching, Traits: Luddite, Iron Guts Stress and Overjoyed Reactions: Vomiter, Sticker Bomber. Another was AbeInterest: Supplying Traits: Gastrophobia, Green Thumb Stress and Overjoyed Reactions: Ugly Crier, Balloon Artist. Last was SteveInterests: Digging Traits: Critter Aversion, Handy Stress and Overjoyed Reactions: Ugly Crier, Yodeler.

I set a reply, it hasn't been approved yet, but here's what worked for anyone with a similar issue: 

Yellow Alert doesn't work, they'll just continue sleeping. This is either a bug or I just didn't wait long enough. What worked was changing the schedule so the block it was currently and the one after was a working block. I set the cot disabling to 9 and now changed schedule back to regular. They went to sleep in places with very breathable amounts of oxygen!

Dont be too nervous about that. Dupes are smart enough, if they feel oxygen shortage they will wake up to get some breath. Thats will give them less sleep time ofc, but definitely not what can kill your colony.

Yeah, I learned that after in the next cycle one slept far away from any oxygen...

Safe to say, after that I reenabled the beds

Yellow Alert just raise the priority to highest in work time. Red Alert will wake them up and force them to keep working.
