my computer doesnt go to sleep.

It must stay awake, at all times, awaiting my input.

That's the way. Turning computers off isn't good for them anyway.

There are some ancient hard drives that still spin purely because they have not had a chance to stop in the last decade. I have serviced some of them.

It was terrifying.
