When Sleep Mode is enabled on a Windows Computer, it automatically goes into a state of Low Power Mode after a certain period of inactivity.

Whenever you need to work on the computer again, you will be able to wake up the computer almost immediately by pressing the Power Button.

With default Sleep Mode settings, most Windows computers go into Sleep Mode after 15 Minutes (While on battery) and 30 minutes (when pugged-in to a power supply) of inactivity.

While the default sleep mode setting is good enough for most activities, it may not be suitable in certain cases or suitable for all users.
