Sleep mode means ram is being powered, as otherwise it will clear out, and it keeps Bluetooth and WiFi on as well for the wakeup stuff.
There’s a tweak for allowing hibernation, that saves stuff to disk and actually shuts the deck off properly.
Comment on is it fine to leave steam deck in sleep mode instead pf turning it off?

Well, every device in sleep mode runs out of battery at some point. The Steam Deck is not the most efficient one in sleep. I would just turn it off if you do not use it for an entire day or so. Otherwise its pretty useful to just sleep for a few hours.
