Sleep Mac from within VLC using Apple Remote?

[peanutismint]

I've searched for an answer to this question to no avail. I'm watching a movie in bed on VLC (because Front Row is just too slow for me), and I want to go to sleep. I hold the play button on my Apple Remote to sleep my computer, but from within VLC it does nothing.

Is there any way to get the 'hold play on the apple remote to sleep your computer' function to work from within VLC?
