Just like the Xbox 360 and PS3's wireless controllers, the Wiimote times out after a period of inactivity. We weren't really paying attention, but it's somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes. After that you can just press the face button A to make the controller jump back to life and reconnect with the Wii. – Jason Chen
