The site doesn't "go to sleep". What's most likely happening is they are restarting their server on a regular basis (probably once every 24 hours). This is not something you're really supposed to do with a CF server (or PHP, ASP, JSP, etc). People usually do it because they have bad code running on their server eating up resources - rather than fix the problem, they flush the server cache by rebooting. This is why I strongly advise against using any type of shared hosting in any web programming language.
Your options are: 1. Find out when they reboot the CF service (or the server) and automate some kind of ping to the domain on port 80. 2. Don't use shared hosting (suggested).
