power key

at any time you can use the power key to bring up a dialog showing you a shutdown, reboot ans sleep option, just press "S" when the dialog is on the screen and the system will go to sleep. I'm not sure that I tried it after upgrade to 10.1 but in 10.0.4 and in all OS 9 versions it worked

Newer macs goes to sleep directly if you just push the power button on the computer, or (if you have one) the apple-display. No dialog is involved.
