You're not on a laptop or notebook, are you? I'm not, and so I don't think the system goes to 'sleep' per se, except for those halt()s the kernel does whenever there's nothing to do. But up until now, that hasn't made any difference in regards to time.
My system was more or less idle today while I was at work - the time as reported by the system was about 12:30 pm on Sunday (it's Monday) :( and that was about 7:00 this morning. When I got home at around 6 pm the system time says 4 pm or thereabouts. In other words, only 3 1/2 hours have passed according to the system.

Well, that's what I got. I may have some other thing set in the bios such as suspend after 60 minutes or something; maybe I need to turn that off.
I'm cc:ing this back to the list to see if anyone else has good suggestions.
