AppleTV Remote Shortcut to Sleep

appletvremote control

I have a 2nd gen AppleTV unit. I would like to know if there is a way to use the AppleTV remote to put the unit to sleep (e.g. hold a key down)? Currently, the only way I know to do this is to traverse the menus back out to Settings, and then select Sleep Now.

Hold down the main centre button. Should put it to sleep after a couple of seconds.

Hit it again to wake it up.
