SmartSleep puts your Mac in a healthy sleep cycle

smartsleep.jpgYour Mac laptop needs a regular sleep pattern just like you and SmartSleep sets out to give it the sleep cycle it needs to maximize its battery life.

SmartSleep regulates your Mac’s sleep patterns, setting it to sleep only (no hibernation) when your battery is high and putting it on sleep and hibernate when your battery goes below 20%(this level is customizable). Once your battery goes below 5%, SmartSleep sets the computer to hibernate only, which will preserve the battery completely.

I’ve had my MacBook completely die on sleep mode before, which is more than a little annoying, so I’ll definitely be giving this free software a try.
