There's a pref in General: Suspend timers when user has been inactive for ... set that to a reasonable period of time (but something less than when your computer goes to sleep). That should stop the tracker.

Is there any way to suspend the timers when the computer is sleeping?
I often leave windows open, put the machine to sleep, and go away from the 
machine.  As far as I can tell, the Time Sink timers keep running . . . 
which makes it seem like I'm working much more than I am :)
Is there a way to pause all the timers during sleep?  Or is moving the 
Finder to the foreground the only way to approximate that (total time would 
keep running but foreground time would stop)?

(Just downloaded Time Sink today and am still exploring how it works.)

Thanks for any help you can provide.
