![]() ![]() On laptops, when you know you will not be using the laptop for a long time and you have no chance to charge the battery during this time, you should use hibernate mode. Hibernation uses the least amount of power of all the energy-saving states in Windows. When sleep makes your work and settings store in memory and consumes a small amount of power, hibernation puts your open documents and programs on your hard disk and then shuts down your computer. So to sum up, sleep is a low-powered mode where you can instantly start up your computer, and hibernate is a low-powered mode where you can preserve documents and applications that are currently running.Hibernation is a power-saving state designed primarily for laptops. ![]() It will do the same things as requiring low power consumption, will boot your computer instantaneously and will load up your running documents and applications as they were. Taking the benefits of both sleep and hibernate, the Hybrid-Sleep is one option you can consider instead. It will however open up your open documents and running applications without starting them again. On starting up your devices, sleep or standby mode will instantly start up your device without having to go through many processes, unlike your hibernation mode, where it will have to start as if shut down normally. Hibernation mode requires less power simply because the data stored on your RAM is transferred onto your hard drives and so will not require any power after. Starting with their power consumption, sleep mode will require a bit higher power consumption than hibernation mode simply because it is still technically running. While both have the same idea of saving power, they do act differently. What’s the difference between sleep, hibernate and standby? While standby and sleep are actually the same, let us figure out the differences between sleep mode and hibernate mode instead. It is usually used when the user needs to be away for 10 to 30 minutes but also needs the computer to be readied up instantaneously. It requires low power consumption that does not have to go through the process of booting. For a computer, it is basically the same with the sleep mode. Let’s take a TV for example while the TV is plugged in but is still off (standby mode), it can still be activated or receive signals from a remote control. Standby – With this mode, the device is not actually turned-off but is not actually turned-on either. Linux on the other hand uses other alternatives like swsusp, TuxOnIce, and uswsusp, which basically refers to suspend-to-disk. For its other terms on different OS’s, hibernate is used on Microsoft Windows, Safe Sleep is used on Mac OS X. It will have to go through the usual booting or preliminary process before it opens up again. While it does save data that was previously running before it went to hibernate, it does need to power up regularly as if the device was shut down. It can resume all applications and data as soon as your device is powered on, simply because the device saves the contents of your device’s RAM (Random Access Memory) to your hard disk. Unlike your sleep mode, hibernation avoids problems of having to save your data or restoring your programs before going into hibernation. It is often misunderstood as sleep but in truth, hibernate provides a more complicated state for your device. Hibernate – In hibernation mode, the same as sleep mode, the device goes through power saving mode. While they all have their own name, it still goes through the same process of Sleep Mode. For Linux, it comes with a more technical name, Suspend to Ram. For Mac OS 8 – Mac OS X, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 – 10, the term Sleep is used. ![]() For Microsoft Windows98 to Server 2003, the term Stand-By is used. Sleep mode comes by different names with different OS’s (Operating Systems) for computers. This mode would be very handy for those in a rush and of course saves power, especially with laptops. Other than that, when the device is powered on by the user, it will not have to go through all the usual booting or preliminary instructions for the device to open up. In technical terms, it will significantly reduce electrical consumption compared to a device that’s fully on. Sleep – Taking what sleep literally means, the device goes into a passive mode or low power mode. ![]()
