I would advice to change a few settings in the power options.
1. Hard disk, set it to turn off never (or 0 (zero) minutes)
2. Sleep, set 'sleep after' also to never
I would also change 'On battery power, PC goes to sleep after' and 'When plugged in, PC goes to sleep after' to 0 minutes.
Basically turning off sleep and keeping the hard disk active.
You may use sleep often, but some options in the power settings will always be somewhat unstable.
