What about this tip from Apple?
Authored by: Dirk! on Mar 06, '07 08:01:31AM
Hello,

Apple has a tip about putting your computer into sleep mode very fast:

http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/quicksleep.html

"Just press Command-Option and then hold the Eject button for about 2 seconds and Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. It doesn't get much faster than that."

Does that mean, this key combination puts you MacBook into sleep instead of deep sleep?

Afraid not - still puts it in deep sleep. Good tip, though!

that key combo is obvioulsy not designed for laptops since it just wakes up immediately after sleeping since the lid is open.

Not mine. It stays asleep.

That is also the case with my TiPB 867. The computer immediately wakes up again after the sceen goes dark. Pity, because it is a neat tip and it would be one that I think I would adopt.

Using 10.4.7 if that makes any difference.

I always put mine to sleep before closing the lid, so that doesn't even make any sense.

If you have an Apple remote, holding down the Play/Pause button for about 5 seconds will also put it to sleep.
