Is there an option for the sleep function on Surface 3, or is it built in already? If so, where because I do not see it.

I believe it should now show the sleep option in the usual power menu in Start8 and before it did not.

That's odd... I do not show sleep being an option at all in my power menu. In fact, sleep had been an option until this last update on my surface pro 3. Now, all it shows is: Switch User, Sign Out, Restart
