Quickly Put Your Apple TV to Sleep

Keeping your Apple TV awake will waste a lot of power for no reason. Fortunately, you can quickly put your device to sleep with just a few clicks on your remote.

There are a few ways to do this, so you can choose whichever one works best for you:

• The longest way is to open Settings on your Apple TV and then select Sleep Now.
• If you have a second-generation Siri Remote or a later model, you can just press and hold the Power button.
• You can also press the TV button on your remote to open the Control Center. Next, select Sleep.

You can also set your Apple TV to go to sleep automatically after it’s been idle by going into the Settings app and selecting General > Sleep After.
