DeepSleep will allow your Mac laptop or desktop to sleep without using any power or drain the batteries. It saves everything to disk and stops using power completely. When you wake up your machines by pressing the power button, DeepSleep will restore everything and wake up just like you left it. It takes a little longer than normal sleep but it is a great battery saver when you know you won't be using the computer for a while. Give it a try, you will love the convenience and the extra battery life!

Apple should include access to this function in the UI.

The process that he is talking about is called "hibernation"
There are several preference panes that will permit your Mac to hibernate.
Hibernation is better than sleep, if you do not mind waiting longer for your mac to awaken.

The new Dashboard widget is annoying. Even if I used Dashboard it's an extra step to bring Dashboard up to sleep, so I still use the old dock app.
Besides, "hibernation is better than sleep" is a pretty bold statement. There is no "better" with this kind of thing. What is better for you may be worse for me.
If you use your mac a lot, hibernation to disk makes your disk work a lot, which is not necessarily good for its durability, and it may even consume more energy than putting your mac to sleep for a few hours, because dumping the memory to disk drains quite a bit of energy, while preserving the ram during sleep does not drain as much as you may think.
