The Fire Stick is the new Amazon device that allows us to turn our TV into a Smart TV and enjoy on it the content of the great streaming, such as Amazon Prime and Netflix, maximizing our experience.
But in addition to that, the Fire Stick brings a series of functions that are not always learned to handle the first time and when we first start to use it, it is normal that we find it a bit complicated to carry them out . Therefore, today we bring you this guide to make you sleep.

What methods can I use to get my Amazon Fire Stick to sleep?
There are two basic ways to put the Fire Stick to sleep , from settings, using the remote control, or using an external application. Below we will explain both ways to achieve it.
Put my Amazon Fire Stick to sleep by setting it from the controller
Of course, we need to have the remote control in hand. The control is a fundamental complement of our Fire Stick and who facilitates us almost all its functions. To make him sleep with it, we must:
Press the start button
The first thing to do is press this button for a few seconds to bring up a screen with a series of options.
Open the start menu
This screen is the home menu. In it, we will see an icon in the shape of a crescent, with the word sleep under it.
Select it to use the ‘Low consumption’
This icon will put you to sleep or activate Low Power mode , disabling Fire TV functions and reducing power consumption.
How to make my Amazon Fire Stick sleep using an app?
Unfortunately, the remote controls can be damaged or even lost, and in that case, we can use our mobile and an application to put the Fire Stick to sleep.
This application is the Amazon Fire TV , developed by Amazon and available for both iOS and Android in their respective stores.
After installing it, we must open it and log in with our Amazon account . The app will detect the connected devices and we must select which one we want to use it with so that the code that our mobile phone requires to be connected appears on the TV screen.
Once entered, the Amazon Fire TV will emulate a remote control on the mobile with which we can put the Fire Stick to sleep in the same way we explained previously.
Remember to keep in mind that to achieve this a good internet connection will be required from both devices.
Differences between giving Amazon Fire Stick rest and making it sleep
By giving the Fire Stick to sleep and sending it to sleep, they will end up in sleep mode . This consists of turning off all its functions, except for software updates that may be executed and ensuring that they are completed more quickly.
In this way, the difference between putting the Fire Stick to sleep or leaving it to rest, is that the first puts the device to sleep immediately after activating the Sleep mode, and the second takes place after 20 or 30 minutes (depending on the model of the Fire Stick), from being idle.
What can I do if my Amazon Fire Stick refuses to sleep?
There are three different alternatives that we can come up with and use to be able to easily fix this tedious flaw in the Fire Stick.
The first and most basic is restarting the device from the Start menu Settings. Generally, after restarting the Fire Stick, this function works correctly.
But in case this doesn’t work, we can try disconnecting the Fire Stick from the TV and waiting a while before connecting it again.
It can also happen that this error is due to a more serious cause and it is necessary to configure the Fire Stick to factory settings , which is the same as formatting it.
This will cause all information and settings that we have on the device to be deleted, so it should be seen as the last option. It is usually not necessary to go to this extreme and can be solved with a little patience.
