Does the Clock Sleep?

No, because when the iBook is closed, it is asleep and therefore not 
generating any significant amount of heat.

Now if you were to cover the keyboard with something while using it for 
a prolonged period, you might run into trouble. I have a strong hunch 
that this is what has happened to a client of mine who has "mysterious 
shutdowns" after using her "keyboard protector" covered iBook for a few 
hours.

Whenever I take the iBook and remove the "keyboard protector" skin and 
use it for a few hours, I have no problems at all.
