Any idea if it's possible to control my iMac like to put it to sleep while I'm lying n bed? Lol

Is it possible using the Apple Remote app? Or an Apple Remote?

At least a few of these will work if you have an iphone/ipad.

Sleep and wake your Mac using an Apple Remote
If your Mac has an ambient light sensor, you can put it to sleep and wake it with an Apple Remote.

Put your Mac to sleep: Press and hold the Play/Pause button on the remote.

Wake your Mac: Press any button on the remote.
 
Thanks for sharing this....i have the 5k iMac i'm not sure the Apple Remote would work this way but i will try...
 
I found out this App called Remote Mouse you can download to your Mac and iPhone to control mouse on your Mac using your iPhone or you can just click on asleep or restart button directly from the app...

Cool simple app download it!
