PyTivo and sleep mode

Apologies if this has been asked, but my search for this question has not been successful.

I've been a pyTiVo user for awhile, but last fall I replaced my main computer, and got rid of my XP computer (which is what pyTiVo was running on), and never got around to reinstalling pyTiVo until recently, because my wife became desperate to archive some shows of hers (her TiVos filled up).

For now, I've installed python and pyTiVo on a spare laptop I've got (Windows Vista), but I can't remember if I used to disable sleep mode or not. I'm noticing that when the laptop enters sleep mode, any transfer that's in progress stops transferring. If I wake up the laptop, the transfer resumes.

So, does this mean that it's recommended that I should disable sleep mode on the laptop? Or is there a way to allow it to enter sleep mode so long as there are no queued transfer requests? I ask because I just feel that permanently disabling sleep mode might use a lot of electricity, and I was wondering in there was a greener solution that won't cause my wife's transfers to stop in the middle of the night, for her to wake up and discover they got interrupted.

Also, is it ill advised for me to running the pyTivo software on a laptop vs a desktop?
