Do you use your computer for playback of films, streamed TV etc. before going to sleep?
In these cases, Windows' sleep functionality is suspended and won't kick in once the video has finished.
The solution for many is to use a sleep timer to send the computer to sleep after the estimated amount of time of the video. But you need to remember to do this every time. Sleep# handles this automatically:
Sleep# sends your computer to sleep after the playback of fullscreen video, providing Windows has been idle for a predefined amount of time.
There is a grace period at the end of the fullscreen video before sending your computer to sleep, allowing you to interrupt the process should you still be awake.
Sleep# works with VLC media player, Windows Media Player, Google Play Movies & TV amongst others.

I used to see a new movie on my laptop every night. This app resolves my demand exactly.

I love this program. I like to watch tv while I'm going to sleep and I usually just set the timer for an hour and zonk out. Works perfectly and has great config options for its auto mode. Thanks!

I'm a Sleep# user since it was released and it always worked like a charm. Use it to put your computer to sleep, hibernate or turn off your screen after your media player reaches the end of a playlist or a single video/audio. You can also set a timer and Sleep# will do it. Easy, unobtrusive, very low usage of memory and resources.

I made an account just to review this software. Its bug FREE, it works flawlessly and now I can finally have my HTPC shut itself off at night. Thank you so much!

Appears to work very well on my Windows 7 setup. I like to have some background music playing before sleep, suing Windows Media Player. Have only used the Countdown Timer feature so far, but will experiment with the others. Could perhaps do with some more detailed instructions.
