Sleep mode is an essential feature in any operating system, including macOS, as it helps save energy and prolong the lifespan of your hardware by reducing power consumption when the device is not in use. In the Apple environment, sleep mode is equivalent to the "Modo de Suspensão" found in other operating systems. This article will guide you through the steps to enable and manage sleep mode on your Mac, ensuring you can make the most of this power-saving feature.

Examples:

1. Using System Preferences:

   • Open "System Preferences" from the Apple menu.
   • Select "Energy Saver" (on macOS Catalina and earlier) or "Battery" (on macOS Big Sur and later).
   • Adjust the slider to set the time after which your Mac should enter sleep mode.
   • You can also check the options for putting hard disks to sleep and enabling Power Nap.

2. Using Terminal:

   • Open the Terminal application from the Utilities folder.
   • To set the sleep timer, use the following command:

     sudo pmset sleep <time_in_minutes>

     For example, to set the sleep timer to 30 minutes:

     sudo pmset sleep 30

   • To disable sleep mode, you can set the timer to 0:

     sudo pmset sleep 0

3. Using AppleScript:

   • Open the Script Editor application.
   • Enter the following script to put your Mac to sleep immediately:

     tell application "System Events"
      sleep
     end tell

   • Save the script and run it whenever you want to put your Mac to sleep.

4. Using Keyboard Shortcuts:

   • Press Control + Shift + Eject (or Control + Shift + Power on Macs without an Eject key) to put your Mac to sleep instantly.
