Is Your Computer Narcoleptic?

Does your computer fall asleep? Check your power settings in Control Panel. Make sure that they are set the way you need them to be. Utilizing sleep mode is a good thing but only if your motherboard and graphics card supports it. If your monitor doesn't seem to want to wake up, then don't let it go to sleep. Adjust your power setting to "Never."

If both your motherboard and graphics card support waking up, then I suggest 20 minutes or less for your monitor's power setting.
