Problem using sleep mode

Hey everyone I am very new to Arduino and programming all together. I've only been working at this for about 2 weeks and trying to use forums, YouTube, and google when possible, but this one I just can't figure out this part on my own.

I am trying to make a biometric fingerprint lock for an in wall safe. I have been able to get most of my code working, recognizing my print and activating the lock. Since I plan on running this project on batteries I would like to be able to put the Arduino to sleep until I place my finger on the fingerprint reader. Once the lock has been unlocked I would like it to go back into a sleep mode after like 30 secs. I have tried using some example codes that I have seen online, but I can't figure out how to get them to work with my Sketch.

I am using an Arduino Uno Rev3, a 4 relay shield, R503 fingerprint reader, and a 12v solenoid lock. I included 2 pictures of what my setup looks like, and I will include the code that I am currently working with. I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thank you.
