Why is my PDI Hibernating Daily?

I'm logging in, using my environment, opening requests and whatnot on a daily basis. However, every day when I go to login and use it it's in a hibernating state. Anyone else experiencing this? Anything I can do to assist here without a full rebuild?

From older documents from ServiceNow, PDI goes to hibernation after approximately 6 hours of inactivity. This is to ensure the computing power is shared over everyone working on their PDI and obviously to keep cost down. You just need to wakeup your PDI from hibernation which usually take 2-3 minutes and all your work is there, no need for a full rebuild as hibernating is by design and I don't believe anything is wrong with your PDI.
