Just to be clear (I know that Wilbrich already mentioned it) try the 10+ second hold on your power button first. If the battery is fine and you are just experiencing the "sleep-of-death" then this will solve your problem. If you are in a quiet enough environment you should hear a "click" around the 7 or 8 second mark to let you know you have held it long enough. But assuming you count a little longer than 10 (I always do 12), you should be fine. (This is a "hard reset" way to turn the system off)
Then just click once (or in my case, I sometimes have to click a second time) the power button to turn the unit on again. You can tell it is starting because the green light will start to blink.
Of course, if your battery has died on you, then you'll need to charge.
