The difference is that “sleep” mode is like standby on Windows – the computer isn’t exactly running or shutting down – everything is frozen.
With Ctrl+Shift+Eject, only the monitor is turned off so that your computer is running and immediately ready to use when the monitor is turned back on (by moving mouse or pressing keyboard).

What is the difference between using crtl+shift+eject and putting it in “sleep” mode?
Is it similar to switching off the monitor on a PC but leaving the computer still running?
Thanks
