In case you don't use a Mac laptop regularly, changing the power
management from regular sleep to hibernation helps preserving battery
life. To do this, run the command below:
> sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 25
To verify the change, you can run the following command and look for the
value of "hibernatemode":
> pmset -g
The downside of hibernation is that it takes longer for the Mac laptop to wake, since system is restored from a disk image.
