Power saving

Hi, I need to read an analog signal 100 s/s which takes 68us at 10bit. There is very little computation to be done once read probably about 10us which I can do to the previous read while waiting. After this the processor is twiddling its Thumbs (sorry for the pun). Is there a way to power down the CPU, keep the ADC going and wake up on ADC completion? This could save quite a lot of power. Thanks.
