Does anyone know the technical processes that take place when one uses the 
simultaneous press of the Sleep + Home button? I'd like to know if this is 
what some deem an extreme measure similar to pressing and holding the power 
button on a Windows machine, or if this is a safe practice on an IOS device. 
Sorry to be so repetitive, but I'm looking for a credible answer and I keep 
getting descriptions of what the process will do, processes which I have 
already conveyed knowledge of. I've already found out it wipes out 
VoiceOver, so I'm curious how the process effects other functions of the OS.

pressing the home and sleep button is a way to reset the device. It is 
different from pressing the sleep button alone, (sleep button alone) for 
turning it off and turning back on again.
To turn off your device, press and hold sleep button for a few second, until 
you hear voiceover anouncing something a long the line "shudding down 
iphone, slide right for ok or left for cancel."
After you have slide according to your option, voice over will either say 
"iphone is shudding down" or you will back to wherever you were.
