I observed, however, that one of them held somewhat aloof, and though he seemed desirous not to spoil the hilarity of his shipmates by his own sober face, yet upon the whole he refrained from making as much noise as the rest. This man interested me at once; and since the sea-gods had ordained that he should soon become my shipmate (though but a sleeping-partner one, so far as this narrative is concerned), I will here venture upon a little description of him. He stood full six feet in height, with noble shoulders, and a chest like a coffer-dam. I have seldom seen such brawn in a man. His face was deeply brown and burnt, making his white teeth dazzling by the contrast; while in the deep shadows of his eyes floated some reminiscences that did not seem to give him much joy. His voice at once announced that he was a Southerner, and from his fine stature, I thought he must be one of those tall mountaineers from the Alleghanian Ridge in Virginia. When the revelry of his companions had mounted to its height, this man slipped away unobserved, and I saw no more of him till he became my comrade on the sea. In a few minutes, however, he was missed by his shipmates, and being, it seems, for some reason a huge favourite with them, they raised a cry of "Bulkington! Bulkington! where's Bulkington?" and darted out of the house in pursuit of him.

D3, // Sleep: partially powered with device initiated wake

To keep a device awake indefinitely, you can use SystemParametersInfo() (also in CoreDll) to query the three idle timeouts SPI_GETBATTERYIDLETIMEOUT, SPI_GETEXTERNALIDLETIMEOUT, and SPI_GETWAKEUPIDLETIMEOUT. Ignoring any values that are zero, use the minimum of these three values as your N, set a recurring timer to fire more often than every N seconds, and call SystemIdleTimerReset() every time it fires. When you're done with your critical operation, kill the timer, and the device will be able to sleep again. I tried this from C# and each idle-timeout value was 0, so I just called SystemIdleTimerReset() every 30 seconds during the critical operation.
