Solving the Macbook Pro sleeping problem once and for all

---

I pre­vi­ously wrote about how to diag­nose a Mac’s sleep­ing prob­lem. But a USB periph­eral is not the only rea­son a Mac might refuse to sleep. Net­work access, disk writes, blue­tooth are some of the other rea­sons a Mac might not sleep. Find­ing the root cause is not easy and involves rolling down your sleeves and get­ting your hands dirty with some ter­mi­nal com­mands and wad­ing through pages of sys­tem logs.

Or, you could sim­ply install this fan­tas­tic free tool I dis­cov­ered that puts your Mac to sleep! Called Please Sleep, this is a very sim­ple util­ity that can be set to launch at startup and will faith­fully put the Mac to sleep based on your set­tings. Very sim­ple and unobtrusive.

Many thanks to the devel­oper who did what Apple couldn’t (or wouldn’t!).
