In a system for radio communication between an implantable medical device, IMD, and an external base unit the IMD comprises a transceiver for the communication with the external base unit. The external base unit is arranged to send, according to a predetermined criterion, a sleep message to the IMD transceiver requesting the IMD transceiver to switch to a sleep, power down mode of operation for a predetermined sleep time period. In a corresponding method of radio communication between an implantable medical device, IMD, and an external base unit, a sleep message is sent, according to a predetermined criterion, to the IMD transceiver requesting the IMD transceiver to switch to a sleep, power down mode of operation for a predetermined sleep time period.
