Lucid Sleep function allows your Chromebook to stay up-to-date even whilst sleeping
If you are the proud owner of a new Chromebook Pixel, you’ll be glad to hear of a new, experimental feature called Lucid Sleep. Whilst it sounds like some sort of hush-hush project at Lockheed’s SkunkWorks facility, Lucid Sleep is actually a way of ensuring that your new Pixel Chromebook keeps up to date with push notifications while it is sleeping, much like your smartphone does.
To access the Lucid Sleep function, just go to your Settings menu, click Privacy settings and then choose to ‘Keep WiFi on during sleep’. This results in limited WiFi connectivity even while your device is sleeping, allowing it to synchronize with your other devices and cloud data. The end result is that your machine is ready to go even quicker than it usually would be when woken from slumber. At present, the Lucid Sleep function is only available on the new Chromebook Pixel, but hopefully the rest of the Chromebook range will get it soon.
