Yep, the Steam Deck can download games while it's in sleep mode, just like a well-trained pet that fetches the newspaper while you're still in bed. Just make sure it's connected to Wi-Fi and you've got the settings adjusted to keep those downloads rolling even when it's taking a nap.

No, it doesn't. It's a sleep mode, not a download mode. When it's asleep, let it rest!

Absolutely, it does. Left mine in sleep mode overnight and woke up to a fully downloaded game ready to play. It's pretty neat not having to wait around for downloads.

Mine seemed to pause downloads in sleep mode initially, but a quick settings tweak fixed that right up. Make sure to check your download settings!
