WinSleep, a small app that helps keep your computer asleep during specified periods, is very useful. It displays a detailed graph of your computer's time, showing you when it was awake, asleep, and hibernating.
A typical desktop consumes 250 watts of electricity while awake, but only a few more when it is asleep. In the US, power companies may bill for approximately 10 cents per kWH. This is.25 kWH @10 cents = 2.5 Cents/hr that you are saving while you sleep. WinSleep will sleep your computer for half a day, which is $.30 per hour or $109.50 annually. The more you sleep, the more money your computer saves.
These are the key features:
This not only saves money but also prolongs the life of your desktop computer. Your disk drive is not spinning and the motherboard is not powered. The fan is also not running (and collecting dust in the computer casing). Your monitors are on standby mode.
Allows you to use the Sleep and Hibernate buttons manually when needed. Displays current CPU/Disk/Network usage percentages on your computer.
*WinSleep has this feature and is the only Windows sleep program that does.
Requirements: Windows 7, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10.
