Waking Up Animation

The animation for waking up is scripted to start on frame 7.833333, meaning almost 8 full seconds of it are never seen.

Transition Frame(s) Inconsistency

Animations need to end with frames transitioning to and from a ped's previous animation for the sake of a smooth transition between each.
Since many were changed during development, various frames of early ones can be spotted in many animations.
