My computer stays on 24/7. When I take it somewhere, it’s “asleep” but still on. Yes, I restart it occasionally; but by any human definition restarting isn’t turning off, anymore than someone blinking is taking a nap.

The pokes are so disruptive that they ruin sleep more then a slightly-less-comfortable pillow. I’m sure there’s a good metaphor in there somewhere.
