I'm not usually one for keyboard shortcuts, apart from the basic ones, like Undo, Select All, Copy / Paste etc. I subscribe to Apple's 'Hot Tip' feed which explains how to send your Mac to sleep in just two seconds.
"Want the fastest way to put your Mac right into a deep, sleepy-bear hibernation-like sleep (no whirling fan, no dialogs, no sound — nuthin’ — just fast, glorious sleep). Just press Command-Option and then hold the Eject button for about 2 seconds and Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. It doesn’t get much faster than that."

Perhaps playing Boney M on ITunes would put your Apple Mac to sleep in less than two seconds? They certainly have that effect on me.... ;-)

Hello Geraldine....
Do you find that happens in all situations?
Perhaps you are extracting the soothing nature of Boney M, rather than the more happy clappy aspects?
I'm sure there is a Boney M following out there somewhere..... I just can't find it.... ;-)

so i tried the sleep shortcut and my comp went to sleep and then not even 5 seconds later, it woke back up.

Maybe some program you have on woke it up..

It works for me if I press and hold Command and Option and then just give the Eject key a quick tap. Pressing and holding Eject causes the Mac to sleep and then wake right back up again.
