Howto create a C# Application that blocks pc hibernation?

Question

I want to make a program to wake me up, but if I leave it and go to sleep the pc ends up sleeping. How can I force it to never sleep if this application is running?

I'm on Windows 7 x64.

Set it from the Energy Panel, why make it in your application anyway? — medopal, May 16 '10 at 14:09

The keyword you are looking for is "Power Management".

Or even better, another similar StackOverflow question:
