Sleep, also called Standby, is an energy-saving feature that
reduces power to system components that are not being used.
When Sleep is initiated, your information is saved in Random
Access Memory (RAM), and the screen is cleared. Your
notebook is still on, but the display is blank. When you
resume from Suspend, your information returns to the screen
where you were previously working.

and open files, you will lose any unsaved information if you turn off
your notebook before you end the Sleep mode.
