Hello Keith Fletcher,
Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum!
Event viewer gives you all the information, such as when a user logs on to the computer or when a program encounters an error. Whenever these types of events occur, Windows records the event in an event log that you can read by using Event Viewer. Advanced users might find the details in event logs helpful when troubleshooting problems with Windows and other programs.
For more information, please refer the links mentioned below:

I don't see any answer to the original poster's question here. How do you get sleep/wake power events into the logs? Where do you find them?

Thanks, Gregory.
The Kernel-Power 42 event is the last I see before sleeping.. While the Power-Troubeshooter 1 event is not the first event after wakening, it is logged in the wihtin the first 5 seconds after returning from sleep.

Hello,
in source Power-Troubleshooter there's all info about computer's sleep time, though you need to put attention if there's correct time (sometimes it's couple hours different but time difference still remains same) because for some reason the Event Viewer converts times in UTC into the local time zone.
It applies to Windows 7, but I've got question - does anybody know how to check it in Windows XP? I was looking for it and couldn't find any info...

- Open Event viewer and right click on Custom View and click on 'create custom view
- Under the Filter Tab ; check "By Source" and from the Event sources dropdown select Kernel-Power, Power-Troubleshooter. Also check all the Event Levels.
- Just above the Task Category you have space to enter the Event ID.. This is important as you dont need all the information except for entering sleep and resuming from sleep. Just enter 42,1
- Leave the rest and click ok
- Give a name for this Log ... and you are good to go.
