    In case the user goes to sleep but leaves the browser open and then in

the morning he comes back and does something the browser will send the session id he got before sleeping.

The only way to accomplish this is to keep a persistant cookie updated with the last time they used a session. Then if someone comes to the site without a session, check for that cookie and present the appropriate page. However, this seems like a lot of effort for little gain to me. -- Stuart
