What is SafeSleepOnce?

SafeSleepOnce puts your Mac into safe sleep once and automatically enables normal sleep afterwards.

Safe sleep is also called deep sleep, hibernation or suspend-to-disk, whereas normal sleep is also called standby or suspend-to-RAM.

To make a long story short:

  • Normal sleep is fast but uses battery since your memory is not shut down. The LED indicating that your Mac is sleeping is on.
  • Safe sleep is slow but does not use any battery since your memory is shut down too. The LED indicating that your Mac is sleeping is off.

I am and will be providing SafeSleepOnce to you for free forever. If you find it useful, please consider to donate.

SafeSleepOnce is likely to work on Macs introduced after October 2005.
