Given that this is a simulation, it would meant that it is based on an actual reality with physics that either match or are limited below our own. Given the technology it would take to simulate life, the Designers would have to live in a reality where they have harnessed some form of energy. The question is how much energy would it take to simulate nearly seven billion people? Even if you didn't have to process those that were sleeping, that's still a lot of energy being consumed by the simulation. Either the Designers are using massive amounts of energy to run the simulation or they have a completely different set of physics and are running a simulation to test alternative physics.
