In sleep mode the CPU, drives, and video are off, but the motherboard
clock is still running to keep the memory refreshed. It still consumes
power, but not much more than powered off, plugged in. When the system
is powered off the mouse, keyboard, or LAN could still be powered, to
perform wake-up functions, depending on their BIOS settings.
