PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for waking up a sleeping device in which the sleeping device is shielded from a service requesting device during a wake-up period. SOLUTION: The sleeping device is coupled to a wake-up device via a communication network. The sleeping device is configured to be brought into a waking up state and to provide a service to the wake-up device on request for service from the wake-up device. This method, first, sends the request for service by the wake-up device to the sleeping device. The communication network comprises a network element which is always powered on, and is coupled to the communication network. The network element halfway captures the request for service destined to the sleeping device and generates a request to wake up the sleeping device halfway capturing the service request, and determines a substitute service to be provided to the wake-up device until the sleeping device is awake.
