Put Your Mac to Sleep Now!


From Mac|Life see the article here (Put your Mac to Sleep Now!)

Active Screen Corners can put your display to sleep, but not your Mac.
Is there a way to put my Mac to sleep with a series of keystrokes, instead of going to the Apple menu and selecting Sleep? 
Absolutely! For a quick-sleep keyboard shortcut, hold down Command-Option-Eject for two seconds. If you’re looking for a keyboard shortcut to put all displays—but not your Mac itself—to sleep, press Control-Shift-Eject. To get that handy Restart/Sleep/Shut Down/Cancel dialog (the same one you got by pressing the Power button on older Mac keyboards), just press Control-Eject.
It’s also possible to put your display (not your whole Mac) to sleep in an instant whenever you drag your mouse cursor to one corner of the screen. Go to System Preferences > Exposé and Spaces > Exposé, and set one of the Active Screen Corners to Sleep Display
