Do you want your other PC going to sleep?
If not disable the sleep mode, what OS is running on this other PC we may be able to assist in setting this up.

If you would still like your other PC to sleep consider using wake-on-lan to wake your other PC up first before trying to access it with ssh. I'm thinking of something like this:

Code:
if ! nc -z otherPC 22 > /dev/null 2>&1
then
    echo "Waking up otherPC..."
    wol 00:1D:99:99:AC:99
fi
ssh otherPC screen ...

Note change 00:1D:99:99:AC:99 to the MAC address of the otherPC network card

wol may not be available natively on your system you can download it from the SourceForge wol project

ssh-import-lp-id

ssh-import-id(1)						    ssh-import							  ssh-import-id(1)

NAME

       ssh-import-id  -  retrieve one or more public keys from a public keyserver (Launchpad.net by default) and append them to the current user's
       authorized_keys file (or some other specified file)

SYNOPSIS

       ssh-import-id [options] USER_ID_1 [USER_ID_2] ... [USER_ID_n]

OPTIONS

	-h | --help	   usage
	-o | --output F    write output to file 'F' (default ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, use "-" for standard out)

DESCRIPTION

       This utility will securely contact a public keyserver (https://launchpad.net by default) and retrieve one or more user's public	keys,  and
       append these to the current user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.

       The  system  administrator  can	change	the source URL used by ssh-import-id(1) by editing the configuration file, /etc/ssh/ssh_import_id,
       which is sourced to obtain the value of URL.  By default, URL="https://launchpad.net/~%s/+sshkeys".  Note that this url really  MUST  be  a
       secure,	https  url with a valid, signed certificate or else your system will be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks!  The "%s" will be
       populated by ssh-import-id(1) with the value(s) of USER_ID_1 [USER_ID_2] ... [USER_ID_n].
