Sorry for the first answer, yes, sleep is for shell (Now edited).
You can sleep (suspend) your system using pm-utils (installed for default on ubuntu) or systemctl.
pm-suspend
If you have installed systemctl, you can use direct interface for systemd
systemctl suspend

I am a newbie to Ubuntu, there doesn't seem to be any option to put the laptop to sleep instead of hibernate (suspend). Is there any way to put it to sleep instead?

web.learner over 9 yearsI should point out that suspend and hibernate are not the same thing. Suspend is synonymous to sleep, while hibernate saves machine state to the disk and powers off.
