Electronic devices have one drawback; they must always be turned on to activate certain commands. Many users are interested in the question of whether the system will wake them off. In this case, it all depends on the type of application used and the functionality of the equipment.

However, in most cases, the system will not perform the selected action in the disabled state. Usually work can be done in sleep mode or with fully active use. Therefore, it is better not to turn off the laptop and monitor the battery charge level.

For the selection of the optimal mode, select the parameters based on your preferences. It will also be useful to take advantage of several tips that may come in handy later:

• Make sure the speakers are turned on and working properly.
• Do not turn off the computer completely, to save energy, put it into sleep mode.
• Install the necessary add-ons only from trusted official sources.
• Periodically change the music, because over time a person gets used to the melody and stops waking up to it.
