Compaq 5BW474 manual Putting Your Computer to Sleep, Waking Your Computer

If you’re going to be away from your computer but want to leave the power on, you can let your computer go to sleep. This process allows you to run programs while your computer goes into a low-power state, which saves energy. However, some software (such as DVD software) might disable the sleep mode.

Tip

You can wake your computer by moving the mouse, by clicking a mouse button, or by pressing any of the keyboard buttons.
