I have another Vista with dysfunctional insomnia. At the moment I have
disabled the sleep function by choosing "High Performance" Power Option,
which is set to never put the computer to sleep. Right now it is not worth
the fight vs. leaving it on all the time. I do have the display set to turn
off in 20 minutes. I will see how this feels for a couple of days.
