What is PC insomnia?
Throughout the day, PCs can be configured to go to sleep after a period of inactivity in order to save power. However some running processes can prevent this from happening, for example a virus scan or application activity. This is commonly referred to as ‘PC insomnia’ or ‘sleeplessness’. In order to get the best possible power savings we recommend implementing an end of day scheduled PC power down using NightWatchman. This will ensure that PCs are available during the day, doing what they need to in order to support your business. Overnight and at weekends you can be confident they are in a lower power state saving energy, saving money and saving the environment.
