Nope, the Steam Deck won't download games in sleep mode. You'll need to keep it awake to get those downloads going!

As of now, the Steam Deck pauses downloads when it's in sleep mode. Keep it awake if you're waiting for those game downloads!

Hot take: Who needs sleep mode? Just leave your Steam Deck on and let the downloads roll in uninterrupted.

From my experience, the Steam Deck doesn't download games in sleep mode. Best to keep it plugged in and awake if you're looking to load up on games.
