Hey mrmatthamm, great tip! But it's even better, I don't have to hold the keys for two seconds, I just press them and off to sleep it goes. Works on my iMac and my MacBook.
I wonder if Windows has an equally speedy keyboard combination?

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.
