1 second is a nice even value,

Code:

 

timeoutperiod var word

...

HSERIN [Item... timeoutjump,1000] ; 1 second timeout
resumeprogram:

straight after the code that validates the actual input data

Code:

timeoutperiod = 0; // reset sleep timeout

anywhere in your main loop

Code:

if timeoutperiod > 1199 then ; 20 mins with no valid input
goto sleeproutine
endif

way at the end of your program...

Code:

timeoutjump:
timeoutperiod = timeoutperiod + 1;
goto resumeprogram
