How To Adjust Sleep Mode In Windows 7

If you leave your Widows 7 computer idle for a while, by default it will go into sleep mode. In this mode, the computer stops all processes until you tell it to wake up. When it does wake up, it starts up again quickly in the same place it left off. This process will save a lot of power. For example, in a laptop, sleep mode helps preserve battery power when you are not working. You can change the amount of idle time necessary before Windows 7 puts your computer to sleep.
Follow the set of guidelines given below, provided by the excellent Windows 7 support team in order to adjust the sleep mode in Windows 7 computer.
