I am pretty sure the encryption process would not continue if you allow your Mac to sleep. Even if your Macbook supports PowerNap, that technology only allows certain activities to occur during sleep, like checking for new mail, updating apps, and syncing with iCloud.
Why do you want to turn FileVault off? Are you experiencing issues with it? It makes your system quite a bit more secure, so I am definitely an advocate of leaving it on.

Not sure why I did it, and I plan to turn it off, but I must wait for my files to be encrypted before I can turn File Vault off. The progress indicator says it will take several hours for the encryption process to complete. If I close the lid on my MacBook, will the process continue, or must the lid be left open? I’ve never been totally sure what does and does not happen with the computer when the lid is shut. I would appreciate being enlightened.
