Winsleep is a simple tool for setting up a sleep or hibernation schedule for your Windows PC. That way, you can make sure your computer is not turned on when you don't need it. As a result, this will save you money by cutting down the cost of your electricity bill. You will also extend the lifespan of your hardware.
Navigating the interface
This tool may prove especially useful for users with computers that consume a lot of energy and do not need to be turned on all the time. The user interface is simple, with most of the functions located in the main window. At the top of the main window, you can see system information such as CPU, Disk, and Network usage.
Next is a button to override schedules and set your computer to stay awake for a specified number of minutes. If you want to manually put your computer to sleep or hibernate, there are also two buttons for that purpose.
Reports and scheduling
At the bottom of the main window, there is a report showing the date and time when your computer was awake, hibernating, or sleeping. You can set this report to a specific date and for a number of days from that date, including the option to show live events.
The Schedules window lets you specify action details such as a start time, and you can also specify a policy, such as an action to be performed when your computer's CPU usage is less than a specified number.
