Send android device to sleep mode

Question

I want to test my app when the device is in sleep mode.

Screen off is not a good sign because the device may be on because of other things. I want to be sure that device is in sleep mode. Is there any command via ADB or other thing to send the device in sleep mode explicitly.

According to this other thread (and I just checked): How to lock Android screen via ADB?

adb shell input keyevent 26

Does the trick! Good stuff.
