WINSLEEP by MollieSoft keeps your computer asleep (while not too busy) as much as possible during periods you specify.** Runs on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 or Windows 11.** Provides a detailed time-line graph showing when your computer was awake, asleep, or hibernating.** Sleep Journal shows when / why your computer woke up or went to sleep.** Provides convenient Sleep and Hibernate buttons for manual use when desired. ** Stay in touch with WinSleep when you are away from home!

The free program WinSleep Monitor can be installed on a remote computer to see when your home computer was awake or asleep, or to sleep / hibernate / wake it remotely.** Shows the current CPU / Disk / Network usage percentages for your computer.** Define multiple sleep schedules (daily, weekly, or monthly time slots), each with a designated sleep policy with its own CPU / Disk / Network usage limits.** Set wake schedules and an optional task (program) to be run at each wake.** Designate other programs on your computer as "Stay Awake Programs" to prevent sleep while these are running or too busy.** Helps prolong the life of your desktop computer. Your disk drive is not spinning, motherboard is not powered, fan is not running (and accumulating dust inside the computer casing), and your monitors are in standby mode.** Saves money!

A typical desktop uses 200 watts of electricity when awake, but only a few watts while asleep. Power companies (in the US) may bill at say 16 cents per kilowatt-hour. This is .2 kilowatt-hour @ 16 cents = 3.2 cents / hr you are saving while asleep.

Say WinSleep sleeps your computer for half the day; this is $.38 / day = $140 per year. The more you sleep, the more you save. (We didn't even count the power consumption of the computer monitor here.)
