so i was wrtiing up an essay using pages, cam time for class and i closed my macbook without saving, figured it would just sleep as usual.
well it turns out the macbook never went to sleep, and when i came back, the battery was dead. booted up again and checked my essay and all that was there was the first pargraph which i had saved before.
basically, is there any way to recover my lost work?
thanks

Have a look in the Trash, they could be a folder called 'Recovered Files', if you're lucky it may be in there (I don't actually know for sure that is the purpose of that folder, but it seems logical).
I think you may have a bigger issue of why your macbook didn't sleep. Even if the battery ran down it should have copied the contents of your RAM onto your hard disk and then when you next started it up it would have reverted to that previous 'saved' state.
