Bug Description
In the dropdowns you have options for "Suspend", "Shutdown", and "Hibernate".
Then in the label below, you have the option to make the computer "Sleep" after a period of inactivity.
What does sleep mean? I was told it means the same as suspend, in which case the words shouldn't be used interchangeably, for clarity.
Also, why are there separate sleep and suspend buttons that can be configured for? Do some keyboards make this distinction? And why isn't the default action for "Sleep button" suspend, if suspend and sleep are the same?
Just to clarify, these are rhetorical questions used to demonstrate why the labels are confusing.

Confirming. We should change the label to reflect whether we mean suspend or hibernate and not use "Sleep when inactive for:"
