You are correct, I just disabled sleep mode and set it to turn off the screen only.
that still uses electricity for the monitor; it just sends a blank signal

It works fine for bitcoin mining for me, I don't have to deal that much with electricity.

My understanding is that getting a program to run in sleep mode is a contradiction.  Sleep mode is the mode in which programs to not run.  DRAM refresh is reduced to the bare minimum and the CPU is deactivated until a hardware signal awakens it.

If you meant "when it leaves sleep mode", you'll need to have a program that watches for the SystemEvents.PowerModeChanged event, and then triggers whatever you need to do.  Such a utility may already exist.
