I wonder if sleep has much of an effect if any

    Normally sleep wouldn't affect it, because it just keeps the ram powered and doesn't write to the SSD.

    However I think windows will quietly hibernate if the computer has been asleep too long. At least on laptops it will automatically hibernate after a few hours of sleep, or after a % of battery is used.

    'hybrid sleep' does write the hibernate file before going into 'sleep mode'. if you have an older system or one that doesn't use 'modern standby' and you have an ssd, you might want to double-check that setting in your power scheme advanced settings.
