sleep mode. Related Terms. An energy-saving mode of operation in which all unnecessary components are shut down. Many battery-operated devices, such as notebook computers, support a sleep mode. When a notebook computer goes into sleep mode, it shuts down the display screen and disk drive.

(Or it may simply fail to sleep at all -- or the sleep option just isn't present in the shut down menu.). In this case, the first step is to diagnose the components of the computer -- including the PC itself, its BIOS and power-management subsystems -- that might be blocking sleep mode.
