Force an android phone to sleep, in order to test?

Viewed 17482

I'm writing an android application that depends on network activity and the alarm manager sometimes waking the phone up from a sleeping state.

My question is how can I reliably test this on device? Ideally, how can I force the phone into a full-on sleeping state. Failing that, how can I know for sure when the phone has fully gone to sleep?

How do you test your Alarm Manager / Wake Lock / Sleep handling code?
