I 've had bad experiences with the sleep/hibernate mode in Win XP and desktops but so far none on Win 7 laptops. I would just usually turn off monitors when leaving my desktop. However, if you are testing sleep mode for Windows  and other issues, go here -> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Sleep-and-hibernation-frequently-asked-questions Wake On LAN blog http://windows7-issues.blogspot.com/2011/03/wake-on-lan-wol-for-windows-7-made-easy.html
