    After upgrading to High Sierra 10.13.4, sleeping has gone weird.

    I just updated my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) to High Sierra 10.13.4 and noticed that whenever I put my iMac to sleep mode, it's screen black-out instantly rather than fading out like it used to. Is there anyone who has the same issue or is it just me?
