I am coding for battery powered device.
How to make system sleep most of the time?
One idea would be:
put a sleep instruction in a lowest priority task.
is it feasible with cocoOS?

cocoOS can manage this for you.
When idle, the scheduler checks for any task waiting for execution. If no task wants to run, a call is made to os_cbkSleep() where you could put your sleep instruction.
For time keeping the MCU must wake up every tick to adjust task timers.
