If so, I don't think it is correct. I expected > the system to finish the build, *THEN* fall asleep. APM only tells the system to fall asleep when you tell it to. It has no 'intelligence' built-in. You set when it falls asleep, such as at a certain time, after the battery is low, or whatever. It can set certain items 'asleep' if they've been idle, but the entire system never sleeps unless told to.
