How do you construct a sleep cycle out of login events? Does steam do one if the computer goes into standby etc?

Nope, going into standby is the same as logging off, since your client doesn't send keep alive packets anymore. (Not sure if macOS is an exception, because I think my MBP doesn't go into proper sleep if I keep Steam running)

MBP never goes into proper sleep.

I got one from work that I don't use much outside of travel and haven't changed in any way past initial setup. It stays connected to WiFi and continuously broadcasts various discovery packets for the past month and a half since I last opened it up.

I know that, I meant: Steam is preventing it from going into that sleep phase (it's still a sleep phase after all) and keeps the OS awake.
