<title>What happens when I suspend my computer?</title>

When you suspend the computer, you send it to sleep. All of your

applications and documents remain open, but the screen and other parts of the

computer switch off to save power. The computer is still switched on though,

and it will still be using a small amount of power. You can wake it up by

pressing a key or clicking the mouse. If that does not work, try pressing the

power button.

Some computers have problems with hardware support which mean that they

<link xref="power-suspendfail">may not be able to suspend properly</link>. It is

a good idea to test suspend on your computer to see if it does work before

relying on it.

<note style="important">

  <title>Always save your work before suspending</title>

  
You should save all of your work before suspending the computer, just in

  case something goes wrong and your open applications and documents cannot be

  recovered when you resume the computer again.
