Disclosed are apparatus and methods for control of sleep modes in a transceiver or receiver. In particular, a transceiver is disclosed including a processor configured to determine timing information concerning sleep periods for at least a portion of components within the transceiver. The transceiver also includes a sleep control logic coupled to the processor to receive information concerning sleep periods from the processor and configured to effect shutting down of the at least a portion of the components of the transceiver during power reduction periods independent of the processor.
