Did you know you can easily put your mac to sleep by pressing command-option-eject (if you have a committed eject key on your keyboard). You’ll need to hold ‘eject’ for a couple of seconds.

How about just sleeping your display? try shift-control-eject!

Of course, whether configured in system prefs, you can setup your mac’s ability button to

put your machine to sleep too.

Got an Apple TV? Put the video-output to sleep by pressing and holding the > (play) button. Note that that doesn’t put the Apple TV to sleep, it just shut’s off the video output.

Got any more sleepy tricks? post a comment!
