By the sound of your reply, it seems to me that you still might not
understand what the "sleep" mode is.

Try the following.

If you have central station monitoring, call them and tell them to put
the system on test for an hour.

Arm your system and don't allow any motion ( absolutely none)  in
front of the motion detector for about five minutes.

After five minutes, walk into the area where the motion detector is
and see if it trips the alarm.

If not, then ......  considering all the other info you have
given .... I would change the detector.

You can also try to manually reprogram the unit as suggested .... but
I can't think of any reason why the unit would all of a sudden stop
working.
