How would you expect it to work if your computer is effectively switched off?

Maybe, why don't you try it and tell us what happens?

Think logically if you're asleep that easily just means you can't work
Computers were built by humans by human intellectuality.

I'll let you figure the rest out.

No, it does not work if your computer is turned off.

No not turned off just asleep. I have a laptop so when I shut it it goes to sleep, but doesn't shut down entirely.

When it's asleep it is effectively turned off.

What you could do is change the setting so only the screen goes off and it doesnt go to sleep.

Same difference.

On -> All programs running
Off -> Nothing runs
Sleep -> Nothing runs, uses a small amount of battery, quickly resumes
Hibernate -> Nothing runs, uses no battery while hibernating, resumes slower than sleep but faster than a reboot

Obviously the only option that leaves programs running is "On"

Thanks bro +rep. I wondered this question too some time ago.

No it won't work if your computer is asleep. However if you are on windows and keep the user logged in, and lock your account it will run in the background. I dont know if that's something you would find useful.

When suspended, in hibernation, or off it won't run. So if you want to run things long term to go your properties and turn suspend/hibernate off.
