If you can't sleep, Hibernate.

[freaker]

Hi....

I just wanted to say to people like me that can't find way to make the computer sleep properly (even with sleepenabler) that you can activate the Hibernate function, similar to windows hibernate (actually I prefer this option as if there's a power outage I wont loose all my work)

the way to do it:

I've set up my computer with

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1

a little bit slow... but It works like a charm

So all you did is go to terminal and perform the sudo pmset command above? I do that - then either with timed sleep, or sleep from the apple menu, it should hibernate instead?

This sounds pretty good to me - I really don't like apple's 'sleep' mode to start with - I've always much preferred hibernation.

I wonder, though, If I'll have the same wake from sleep problem I've been having.

However, restoring from Hibernate in boot loader is picky, e.g. it won't restore if you were running VMWare
It complains something about allocating memory (

I tried it - it was not successful. It changed me from a successful forced sleep (achieved by changing bios quickboot to enabled), to a forced sleep that wouldn't actually wake with input from my bluetooth mouse. It only partially woke from sleep with the power button, and bluetooth didn't wake with it.
