Detecting the correct NPC Behavior, any ideas? : V

Anyone ever figure out how to detect sleep behavior while your not in the same cell as the NPC?
Lets give a example here

Player Location == Riverwood
NPC's location == Riften Blacksmith
GetSleepState does not function this way

Using GetSleepState on a NPC while they are not in the same cell, or loaded does not seem to work for me, so i had to detect Package & Game Hour

Reason for the Game Hour detection was to EvaluatePackage on a NPC, because Asbjorn would sometimes stay down in the basemant of Riften Blacksmith and not goto sleep period until the player actually entered the cell then his package would then Evaluate it self (reason for EVPBlacksmithOwner function). But what if another mod had changed the package schedule, this this would no longer be a valid sleep detection

Spoiler
