DeepSleep Widget

Many people have a lot applications on their laptop and they like to simply close the lid to put the laptop to sleep so they can get back into their applications instantly. But if the laptop is not used for a while, the batteries on the laptop will be drained while the laptop is sleeping.

DeepSleep will allow your Mac laptop or desktop to sleep without using any power or drain the batteries (also known as hibernate for people that are used to Windows PCs). It saves everything to disk and stops using power completely. When you wake up your machines by pressing the power button, DeepSleep will restore everything and wake up just like you left it. It takes a little longer than normal sleep but it is a great battery saver when you know you won't be using the computer for a while. Give it a try, you will love the convenience and the extra battery life!

Features

Note for iMac, Mac mini and Mac Pro Users

On desktop Macs the Hibernating Safe Sleep feature is off by default. To enable it type the following in the Terminal. For more information please read this.
