Go to Task Manager and looking under 'the Conditions' tab, you will find a "Wake the computer to run this task" check box.

This could resolve your issue.

try to do the following
instead of writeline the text , create a property and on the set append text to the file

C#

File.AppendText(filepath, text);

Considering the hard drive isn't powered up and spinning while the system is in Sleep mode, this is no surprise.

Additionally, if computer is sleeping, there is not much to write abut into log. Your service is sleeping as well and nothing is really happening.
