Everything about Sleep mode

Low-power mode for electronic devices

Sleep mode is a low-power mode for electronic devices such as computers, televisions, and remote controlled devices. Sleep modes save significantly on electrical consumption compared to leaving a device fully on and, upon resuming to a working state, allow the user to avoid having to reissue instructions or wait for a machine to boot.
