Display sleep
You may inform your MacBook how long to wait earlier than it puts its display to sleep. Turning your display off is useful if your computer is performing a task (consisting of playing music) however you do not need to know anything that the Mac is doing.
Putting your display to sleep stops the video signal to any inner and external displays. For Apple displays and integrated displays, this also means that the backlight on the LCD is grew to become off to keep power and save energy.
When your display goes to sleep, the display screen goes dark or turns off, however some programs are active on your MacBook. If your display has a power indicator, it could change to signify that the display is in low-power mode. To wake your display, pass the mouse, contact the trackpad, or press a key on the keyboard.
Put hard disks to sleep sometimes
Put powers down the hard drive motor when you are not fetching or writing files from the drive. Solid-state drives (SSDs) do not have mechanical parts, so this power saving does not have an effect on MacBook that use simplest SSDs to save data.
Consider deselecting this feature if you have an inner or external non-SSD drive and you run programs—for example, pro audio or video editing software program—that work more effective with continued read and write operation with the hard disk.
Enable Power Nap
Power Nap lets Mac to wake from sleep to perform tasks when it is necessarily, such as checking for new email or software updates.
During Power Nap, displays and other hardware that is not needed for these tasks will be tuned off to save energy. After it’s finished, MacBook automatically goes back to sleep to save energy.
If you do not want your Mac to wake up on its own to perform these tasks, deselect this option.
