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.
Because sleep keeps active data stored in RAM, this means that as long as power from the battery or wall remains available, the computer can remain in a sleep state indefinitely while protecting user data that was active at the time of sleep.
