It does.

thanks guys !
I don't think it does as i had 120 hours in a game and left it up and running while i took a nap came back 8 hours later and closed the game out it was only at 121 for the hour i played. Not the 8 hours i slept and had the game paused.

Some people's computer doesn't go into sleep mode...

Well the game can tell if you don't make a mouse move or keystroke... but it usually ( for online games ) will boot you off the server + game back to the main menu... but even some games count that as hours in if not played.
