In Sleep mode, all unnecessary devices of your VAIO computer are turned off,
though some devices stay on to retain the computer’s state including data you are
working on. Sleep mode is useful when you take a short rest, for example.
With the default Sleep mode settings, Rapid Wake is enabled and the computer’s
state is saved to the built-in storage device.

To activate Sleep mode

1. Open the charms and select the Settings charm. (See

2. Select Power and Sleep.

mode.

To return to Normal mode

Note

By default, your VAIO computer automatically enters Hibernate mode when the
battery pack is running out of power. However, depending on the operating
conditions, the computer may fail to enter Hibernate mode.
If this occurs and the battery pack is running out of power, the computer will be
turned off, resulting in loss of unsaved data.
While the computer is running on battery power, save data frequently.

Before moving your VAIO computer, make sure that the power indicator light is
off to avoid impact or vibration to the running hard disk drive.

Hint

By default, your VAIO computer enters Sleep mode automatically after about 30
minutes of inactivity while running on AC power.
