Putting Your Mac To Sleep 5
Tip
Hey
The sleep feature of a Mac is one of the best features for quickly putting your Mac into a state where you can lift it off your desk and be back in the same spot when you start up again. The sleep functions do work better on laptops rather than desktops. This is just a quick tip to wrap up a Saturday of working.
Anyway I have come across a cool application that lets you give a couple more settings for putting your Mac to sleep. Its called SmartSleep and is a preference pane for you to install. It gives you move features. Check out the website for more details.
Did you know you can also put your Mac’s display to sleep by pressing Ctrl + Shift + The Eject Key. Just a little tip. Corrected thanks to comments.
Where To Next?

I think you mean:
To put your Mac’s display to sleep, press control + shift + eject.
To put the entire Mac to sleep, press option + command + eject.
