Hi AZgl1800, thanks for sharing your experience.
Aren't suspend to RAM and sleep the same thing in Linux Mint?

Personal choice, I use 5 minutes of Inactivity for the laptop to power down and turn the screen off.
Your screenshot seems to suggest that the only thing that happens after 5 minutes of inactivity is turning off the screen, not going to sleep/suspending?
I DO NOT ACTIVATE SUSPEND, SLEEP, OR HIBERNATE, EVER.
Also "Lid Closed" is set to NEVER.
I just simply have the power Manager turn off the power to the display,
the CPU idles way down and get as cold as the AC blowing out of the HVAC ducts.
this is a very efficient way of keeping the laptop alive, ready for instant use,
and NO, it does NOT store anything to RAM like Hibernate does.
it just idles back, and waits for a keyboard touch, or the mouse to move.
I turn the LogiTech M510 mouse OFF, every time I quit using the laptop, that way, if I bump it in the night, the screen does not light up and wake me up....
I sleep in a Recliner, with the laptop on my knees, or the side table.
