How would one code a sleep variable to change between 2-3 seconds. As I understand Sleep 2000, sleeps for 2 seconds, how could you randomize the sleep for 1-5 seconds?

No matter what the random keeps doing Sleep 3000, even when the min is 5000. Here is a sample, it works fine but the random time isnt going at all, it oddly keeps going 3000. I want the other sleeps to be random also but I figure once I get the one working, I can change the rest to match.
MouseClick, left, 1026, 560 Sleep, Random, rand, 5000, 15000 MouseClick, left, 1026, 560 Sleep, 2500 MouseClick, left, 928, 478 Sleep, 2500 MouseClick, left, 1212, 320 Sleep, 2500 MouseClick, left, 1192, 307 Sleep, 2500

Random, rand, 5000, 15000 ;make rand conatin a random value
Sleep, %rand% ;use that random value in the sleep command
;you can't stack commands like you did (that only works for functions)
rand(x,y) { ;wrap Random in a function (only needs to be done once in your script)
Random, value, %x%, %y%
Return value
}
sleep, % rand(5000,15000) ;use your function to return a random value to your command

Delay: The amount of time to pause (in milliseconds) between 0 and 2147483647 (24 days), which can be an expression.

can be != must be
It works both ways
I think for new people If you want to put a variable in a command that asks for a string always use %% or force an expression is easier to understand, instead of trying to learn the exceptions.

I guess I don't quite follow. I keep trying to look at other sample codes I tried two things nether seem right.
rand(x,y) {
Random, value, %x%, %y%
Return value
MouseClick, left, 1026, 560
sleep, % rand(5000,15000)
MouseClick, left, 1026, 560
sleep, % rand(5000,15000)
MouseClick, left, 928, 478
sleep, % rand(5000,15000)
MouseClick, left, 1212, 320
sleep, % rand(5000,15000)
MouseClick, left, 1192, 307
sleep, % rand(5000,15000)
}
or
rand(5000,10000) {
Random, value, %x%, %y%
Return value
MouseClick, left, 1026, 560
sleep, % rand
MouseClick, left, 1026, 560
sleep, % rand
MouseClick, left, 928, 478
sleep, % rand
MouseClick, left, 1212, 320
sleep, % rand
MouseClick, left, 1192, 307
sleep, % rand
}

In both of the options you put up you inclued all the code in the function
rand(x,y) { ;start of function
Random, value, %x%, %y%
Return value
} ;end of function
MouseClick, left, 1026, 560
sleep, % rand(5000,15000) ;use function
MouseClick, left, 1026, 560
sleep, % rand(5000,15000)
MouseClick, left, 928, 478
sleep, % rand(5000,15000)
MouseClick, left, 1212, 320
sleep, % rand(5000,15000)
MouseClick, left, 1192, 307
sleep, % rand(5000,15000)
