If you happen to own a keyboard with a sleep button in a terribly inconvenient location, such as next to a built-in keyboard volume control or next to your 'esc' key, occasionally causing you to accidentally put your PC to sleep, then there's hope.
1). Go into power options in Windows Control Panel, (Start>Control Panel>Power Options)
2). There should be an option on the left side menu to "Choose what the power buttons do". Clicking on that option will take you into System Settings, where you can 'define power buttons and turn on password protection'.
3). Under "Power and sleep button settings", you can change the selected option for "When I press the sleep button:" in the drop down from 'Sleep' to 'Do nothing'
4). Click 'Save changes', and Bob's your uncle! no restart necessary.
