/* Sleep Demo Serial
 * -----------------
 * Example code to demonstrate the sleep functions in a Arduino. Arduino will wake up
 * when new data is received in the serial port USART

     * there is a list of sleep modes which explains which clocks and 
     * wake up sources are available in which sleep modus.
     *
     * In the avr/sleep.h file, the call names of these sleep modus are to be found:
     *
     * The 5 different modes are:
     *     SLEEP_MODE_IDLE         -the least power savings 
     *     SLEEP_MODE_ADC
     *     SLEEP_MODE_PWR_SAVE
     *     SLEEP_MODE_STANDBY
     *     SLEEP_MODE_PWR_DOWN     -the most power savings
     *
     *  the power reduction management <avr/power.h>  is described in 
     *  http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-manual/group__avr__power.html
