>From dup Bug #661383 
"Outside discussions of whether "suspend" should be called "sleep" or "sleep" 
should be called "suspend", there needs to be consistency.

Specifically in Power Management Preferences, both words "sleep" and
"suspend" are used and mean the same thing. Under Actions is "Put
computer to sleep when inactive for:" while the drop-down selection
boxes have "Suspend" as an option."

Both of these links are worth noting:

** Description changed:

  In the Power Menu, "Suspend" should be renamed to "Sleep" because sleep
  falls on a continuum with hibernation/"Hibernate", and "sleep" is a more
  intuitive term for new users (you can verify this by asking ten people
  who have not used Ubuntu what it means to "suspend" a computer, then ask
  another ten people who have not used Ubuntu what it means to "sleep" a
  computer).
