Time limit on ifconfig wlan0 down?

Is there a time limit ifconfig wlan0 down? I used that command to take my wireless down.

Code:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 down

When I came back about 6 hours later it was working without me bringing my wireless back up. I am the only one that uses my computer or that knows the root password.
