Your SSH session is dependent on the power settings of the remote
machine, its power supply state, and whether the console (keyboard and
mouse INPUT) of that remote machine is active or not.  The definition of
'inactive' is 'NO INPUT on keyboard or mouse', which means that network
traffic and CPU activity do not influence the decision to put the PC to
sleep.
