Yes, in a way, as on waking up from sleep and unconsciousness.
Have you tried rebooting it? Press and hold the sleep/wake button until you see the red power off screen. Slide the power off. Let your ipod cool off. Hold the sleep/wake button until you see the apple logo. It will reboot your iPod. Hopefully it will work now.

Well, if it can't restore then just go to the store you got it from and have them fix it or exchange for a new one.

Sometimes, due to the resume image that is stored to the hard drive becoming corrupted, it is not possible to resume a session from sleep. In this case, you will have to hard reboot the device.
