1Sleep mode is exactly that. The computer is all but shut down. There are no processes running, it just stores the state of the machine so that it can boot up where you left off. If you want a process to continue to run, put it on a machine that does the same. – crthompson Sep 15 '14 at 04:47

4Because the CPU is sleeping and cannot do anything. Also why log something if nothing is happening? – leppie Sep 15 '14 at 04:47

Sleep mode and hibernation both simply save the state your desktop is in (which programs open, files, etc.) in a file that is saved in RAM or on the hard drive respectively. But the computer is then put into a low power state. Nothing can actually run or do work in that state.
You can change power settings to never go to sleep (or hibernate) You also can prevent the system go to sleep via your code, see those links:
