I think Charles is 100% right -- if I have to walk away from my system for more than a few minutes, I'll save the current session, exit Resolve, and
then sleep the computer. To me, sessions are too fragile and too important to risk them because a drive disconnected or the OS crashed during sleep/hibernate modes.
I know editors who use the same philosophy with Avid, because of the way it scans and connects to external hard drives. They don't just sleep the system, they exit the software, then sleep the system.
I've gotten into the habit of just shutting down the system at the end of the day and then rebooting from scratch and relaunching Resolve when starting a new day. I'm not in so much of a hurry that I can't wait 1 minute for the system to come back up, and Resolve typically takes less than :30 seconds to launch these days.
