Hi All
So I have been able to get my Dev board to sleep in the past after some help in this forum.
Today I decided to do the BOOT button work around in this tutorial

[SOLVED] Failed to connect to ESP32: Timed out waiting for packet header

Its great as I don’t have to hold the boot button but now my ESP wont sleep.
I’m using a Dev kit board the same as the tutorials.
Here is the code
