Screen sharing will only work to non sleeping computers. You could set up magic packets to use the wake on LAN capabilities built into almost all modern NIC chips…but what I do is set the monitor to sleep but never sleep computer and never spin down hard drive in Energy in system prefs. Keeping the drive spinning and CPU awake takes very little power compared to the display. You could set the drive to spin down…but I would be surprised if the boot drive on any Mac would spin down much, if at all.
