Does the iphone stay connected to the internet if you start an application and it locks?

Yesterday night I plugged my iphone in to charge. I must have pressed clocks when I place it in as this morning when I woke up, 8 hours later, and unlocked the buzz clocks was the first thing to show up on screen. Does that mean that the internet was connected all night or does it disconnect when it locks?
