sleep mode
Device's low-power state
Sleep mode is a low-power state for electronic devices that preserves the current session while consuming minimal energy.
The device appears off but wakes quickly when needed: My laptop goes into sleep mode after ten minutes of inactivity.
Unlike shutting down completely, sleep mode keeps programs and files ready for immediate use.
