Although the “deep sleep” feature of OS X can be useful at times to save some battery power, if you’re like me you will probably use your laptop within a few hours anyhow.
Sometimes you will have enough with the hour that Apple gives you before you have to wait a minute for it to start, but I regularly find myself staring at the really confusing screen that shows you that you are waking up from hibernation.
Just a blank screen, no password field, no progressbar, nothing… isn’t OS X supposed to be usable and easy to understand Apple?
These settings can be easily reconfigured using pmset
.
For example, my settings:
The -a
works in all different modes, so battery, charger and ups. The -b
, -c
and -u
flags means battery, charger and ups mode respectively.
