ESP8266 forced light-sleep without disconnect.

[aypopa]

Forced light-sleep seems only to work after fully disconnecting the wifi connection during the process, causing several seconds long delay on wake-up trying to reconnect the wifi, putting it unfortunately on par with deep-sleep from this standpoint.

But it seems that this goes against the purpose of light-sleep, which should be usable when the device needs to stay connected while saving power at the cost of unresponsiveness.

Such functionality is suggested in this thread: by @mikeyoyoyo, who claims that his script (without disconnecting) works. However, whit his script I am getting only a loop of SW resets. Am I doing something wrong?
