Sleeper is an extremely lightweight Windows utility that lets you control the future. After a seamless installation, Sleeper will allow you to set your computer to sleep after a time interval. Of course, you can have your PC turn off, hibernate, or just log you off.

Sleeper supports hybrid sleep, the countdown can be stopped or changed at any point and all actions of the application can be logged for future reference.

Sleeper normally sits quiet in your notification area and does its job discretely. The application uses virtually no system resources and does not slow down your PC (unless your consider sleeping a slow down).

Many people use Sleeper to tell their computers to fall asleep after they do so themselves. Set up Sleeper before you go to bed and fall asleep with your favorite music on; your computer will quietly follow, saving power protecting its hardware from overuse.
