Exactly. It saves power and your battery too. If you are in the field or on
the move, there's no need to have all systems at full power and wasting
battery life when a simple keystroke will revive it and make that battery
last a whole lot longer. In fact, on my machine, that setting is called
Powersaver or something close to that.

I usually close the lid after shutting off to prevent dust or like.
When I first got it, it was in I think sleep mode, because if I wasn't doing
something it would nod off and then I would have to press the spacebar on my
name to wake it up again. It was doing this seemed like every 15 minutes. I
guess this was factory default setting.

There is no reason you should not completely shut down your laptop at night.
Mine is shut down every single night or even other times too. But, with most
laptops that I am aware of, if you close down the lid, it goes into a
dormant state and when you raise the lid so you can type, you have to put in
your pasword and it comes back up. Is that what you are wanting or something
different?

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Putting Laptop in Sleep Mode
I need help going about putting my laptop into sleep mode or something like
that when not in use, or is it ok to turn it off each night when not in use?
I know there's pro/con on this subject. I am running window's 7.
Thanks,
Trish
