Most users do not actually understand the difference between sleep and hibernate in the shutdown options of the windows operating system. Let me tell you,
1. Sleep/Standby Mode: Sleep mode or basically known as standby mode is a power-saving that is useful for short breaks. It is actually the same as pausing a DVD movie when you have to answer your phone or go to get some snacks. The activities of the computer are stopped, and whatever open documents you have there will be put in memory. When you come back, you can resume your computer’s operation in no time. Computer still uses power during Sleep mode, however minimal.
2. HIBERNATE: In case of hibernate, the computer saves whatever open documents and running application and programs into your hard disk then shuts down the computer. When your computer is in hibernate mode, it uses no power at all, its like turning off your computer completely, but when you powered it on it will resume every active documents, programs and application that you left open when you hibernate your computer. Since its using zero power, hibernate is useful if you have to leave your computer for a longer period of time.
3. Hybrid Sleep Mode: For desktops, the additional power-saving mode is the hybrid sleep mode which is mainly for desktops and usually enabled by default. This function is usually disabled for laptops. Hybrid mode saves the open documents and application both in memory and hard disk. This feature allows the user to quickly resume his work because it is stored in the memory, and in case of power interruption and the memory is no longer accessible, you can restore everything from the hard disk.
