Depends on your desktop.  You're probably looking for hotkeys/shortkuts 
somewhere in your gnome/kde/xfce/whatnot kontrol center / gonfigurator.  
The names of actions are going to vary.

The sleep key might be a special case.  Mine (thinkpad) shows up under 
`acpi_listen` as 'button/sleep', and I think it can be intercepted in 
the ACPI config or you can use the desktop hotkeys to handle it (which 
requires you to be logged in.)

Whether it will wake up the system depends on the BIOS and also the 
content of /proc/acpi/wakeup
