The sleep mode in PS4 is a power-saving mode that allows you to jump right back into the action without wasting any time on boot-up and loading.

If your PS4 is doing nothing in the sleep mode and you unplug the power chord, nothing will happen. In such a case, all the saved data since the last checkpoint will be lost. The sleep mode is also used to update the system operating system, as well as autoatmically update games. If your PS4 was downloading any data on sleep mode and you unplugged it, the download will be saved as PS4 has a well-designed download management system.

The system isn't made to endure constant cold boots much like a high end PC.
