I hadn't thought of that -- thanks!

Not being able to do suspend or hibernate seems to be a function of
UEFI boot. I never figured out how to do UEFI boot before, so I never
had a problem with suspend or hibernate.
I seem to have found a work-around tho..
lee@laptop:~$ cat /etc/sudoers.d/adm-grp-privs

Cmnd_Alias ADM_COMMANDS = /usr/bin/dmesg, \
/usr/bin/apt list, \
/usr/bin/apt update, \
/usr/bin/systemctl suspend
/usr/sbin/checkrestart, \
/usr/sbin/needrestart, \
/usr/sbin/reboot, \
%adm ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: ADM_COMMANDS
lee@laptop:~$ cat ~/bin/sleep
#!/bin/bash
# put the machine to sleep (i hope. how to know **for sure**??
sudo systemctl suspend
and make a keyboard shortcut so that <win>s calls ~/lee/bin/sleep
so members of the adm group can do certain commands with sudo privs and then
