How to Change Sleep Settings in Windows 10

You can Change Sleep Settings in Windows 10 to ensure a long battery life of a device. This sleep mode is helpful for those who need to work long hours on the device.

In fact, if the device is running short of battery then it enters the sleep mode itself without any prior warning as sleep mode consumes less battery.
