There is a lot of powersavings modes in atmega (e.g. atmega32):
Idle
ADC Noise Reduction
Power-down
Power-save
Standby
Extended Standby

Moreover you may disable some internal subsystems to lower power.
So the "sleep" words shall have actually a parameter: MCUCR register
which defines all possible modes. The power consumption differs
significantly from the mode chosen as well as the way have you can
wakeup the chip. See the manual. P.
