@mfalkvidd Thanks for the advice and I went and downloaded the Mysensors 2.3.1 beta with @tekka 's latest patch. However I will have to report back later how that went after updating the gateway and nodes with the new version. I'm suffering from a human bug right for the past couple of days. Gotta get over this. I have a good feeling this will resolve any issues with sleeping the radios. Thanks again to @mfalkvidd and @tekka for this should anyone find themselves in this particular situation.

@mfalkvidd Ahhhh, that was it. I was still on 2.3.0 of the esp8266 core. Once I upgraded to 2.4.2 it compiled fine and was able to find gdb_hooks.h. I think I was on the older version due to some compatibility issues I had when I was making a WiFi Jammer for a buddy of mine some time ago. Hey thanks for your help @mfalkvidd . You are the man!
