Vista - Putting to sleep remotely

Does anyone know of a Vista/DOS command that will put the computer into
sleep mode? I'd like to be able to sleep the computer remotely and/or on a
timer. Thanks.

Windows Vista automatically goes into Sleep Mode after 1 hour of inactivity
(using the default settings), try walking away from your computer for a
while and see what happens, Just FYI.
