i even bought cocktail for 19 bucks to sleep the drive and sometimes i hear the drive still spinning after i close the lid.

Is it spinning for a while, or just a few seconds after closing the lid?

i noticed yesterday it was spinning 10 minutes after i closed my lid, and a few times i left my mbp on but shut with like 40% battery and woke up and it was dead. i figured maybe i didn't realize how low the battery was but now i know..
