Stuck in Sleep mode windows vista

My computer right now is stuck in sleep mode. My keyboard has no shortcut to get out of it. And right now I really don't want to restart the computer since I'm downloading something right now. Is there anyway I can get out of sleep mode? I'm stuckkk

Thanks

Eh, I'm fairly sure you can't download anything while you're in sleep or hibernate mode. It disables everything (including the network adapter) and saves everything to memory and goes into low-power mode.

This has happened to me a few times in XP and I had to hold the power button down until it turned off, then turn it on again. Sometimes it returns from sleep mode, other times it just reboots. Good luck.
