You may be leaving your computer incorrectly. What is the difference between Sleep and Hibernation in Windows 10

Computer according to Loff’s dream book
Why did you dream about a Computer:

The computer is access to knowledge and power. But it is also “both joy and weakness.”

The computer has its advantages - it allows you to work anywhere in the world, thanks to the inexhaustible possibilities of the Internet, but it also has its disadvantages - it forces you to work anywhere in the world, again thanks to the inexhaustible possibilities of the Internet.

If you see a computer in your dream, it means one of two things: either you are succeeding at work, or you need to stop working so hard.

Was the computer just an addition to the environment or an integral part of it?

Was it particularly powerful or did it cause you a lot of inconvenience?

Working on a computer means that changes in your professional field await you, requiring greater responsibility.

If you cannot work on a computer, it means that you will not be able to cope with the responsibilities assigned to you.

A sophisticated computer dreams of a desire not being fulfilled due to certain external circumstances.

Playing a computer game is a warning, you are too carried away with yourself and may lose friends.

The computer is frozen - you will be dissatisfied with the actions of your superiors.

If you can’t log into the computer because you don’t know the code, it warns you against doing things that you will bitterly regret doing in the future.

Ask your colleague for help.

. Now let's look at the main indicators of today that influence the interpretation, according to astrologers.

What did you do with the computer in your dream?

Repair a computer in a dream ▼

Seeing yourself repairing a computer is a dream when, due to an annoying obstacle, something in your life has gone wrong. But this violation is reversible, you will have the opportunity to find a way to correct the situation, the dream book promises. You are a strong and purposeful person, don’t forget about it.

Why do you dream of playing computer games ▼

If you dreamed about playing a computer game, this is a sign urging you to monitor your behavior among friends. Now you tend to show a cynical and devaluing attitude towards them, and this can ruin the friendship. Perhaps you should be alone for a while.

How to wake up

There are several ways to wake up from sleep mode. All of them are simple, but not all of them will work - it depends on the PC itself, how exactly it “wakes up” for you.

In any case, one of the options will work:

• Move your mouse
• Left click
• Press any keyboard key
• Press the power button
• If you were put to sleep by lowering the lid of your laptop/netbook, just lift it

I recommend putting the computer to sleep and trying to “wake up” it using each method in turn. Remember the one that can do this - it means that this is how your PC “wakes up”.

Hibernation

This is a special mode designed for laptops. It is even more economical than a sleeper. We can say that when you select it, the system goes into deep sleep and consumes very little electricity.

It is recommended to use it if you are going to take a long break from work (more than an hour). Then the laptop battery is practically not discharged.

Among the disadvantages, it should be noted that the computer takes much longer to “fall asleep” and “wake up”. Otherwise, you won’t feel much difference between sleep mode and hibernation.

How to turn it on:

• Windows 7: “Start” - click on the small arrow button next to “Shut down” - select “Hibernation”.
• Windows 8: “Power” (Shutdown) - Hibernation.

If there is no such item, then you need to configure something in the system. First, open Start and select Control Panel. Then find and open “System and Security”, and then open “Power Options”. In the column on the left side, click on “Power button actions”, then on “Change currently unavailable settings”. After that, check the box next to the “Hibernation” item.

Setting the Power button to sleep

If purchasing a new keyboard for your PC is not considered in the near future, you can set the hardware “Power” of the system unit to enter sleep mode. On laptops, the power button is usually set to sleep mode by default. If this is not the case, and when you press “Power” turns off, goes into hibernation, or simply turns off the display, all this can be reconfigured in the Windows environment.

We go to the control panel.

Here we need the “Power Supplies” .

Click the link to configure the actions of the power button.

And, in fact, we select what we want to happen when we press “Power” . Save the changes.

How to enable sleep mode on your computer

Although all programs remain open after hibernation, it is still recommended to save the last changes made, just in case. There may be a power outage, or the laptop's battery will run out (in sleep mode, although there is low energy consumption, it is still present). According to the developers, if the power is turned off in sleep mode, all recent changes are automatically saved. But it's better not to take risks.

To enable sleep mode in Windows 7 and Vista , you need to click on Start, then click on the arrow next to Shutdown, and select Sleep from the list that opens.

In Windows XP, sleep mode is activated in a similar way: Start - Shutdown - Standby mode.

To put your computer into sleep mode in Windows 8 , you need to use the power button, or click on Start, then on the arrow next to Shutdown and on Sleep.

In Windows 10, sleep mode is activated as follows: right-click on Start - Shut down or log out - Sleep mode.

If you are using a laptop, closing the lid will put it into sleep mode by default (unless you have changed the power settings).

I personally use the Alt+F4 key combination, after minimizing all windows, and clicking on an empty space on the desktop. A shutdown window appears, in which I select Sleep mode - this is much faster than going to Start and looking for the desired item there.

What are the differences between the “Sleep” and “Hibernation” modes?

Many Windows 10 users equate “Sleep” and “Hibernation”. There are indeed obvious similarities between these operating system modes for low computer power consumption. They differ primarily in the type of information stored, as well as in the way the data is stored.

Saving information

• “Sleep” - open files, along with the data not saved in them, are saved in RAM.
• “Hibernation” - open files, as well as data that you did not have time to save, are written to disk.

Power consumption

• “Sleep” - the computer in this mode consumes very little energy.
• “Hibernation” - in this mode, energy consumption is reduced to zero, and the system actually turns off.

Availability of modes

• “Sleep” - this mode of operation of the Windows 10 operating system is available on absolutely all computers.
• “Hibernation” - it is not available on all computers running Windows 10. For example, if the system uses InstantGo (a special sleep mode that maintains an Internet connection), it will not have this mode. Moreover, saving energy with its help can simply be turned off by default.

In Windows 10, Hibernation mode is most often unavailable as standard

SSD damage

• “Sleep” - within this mode, solid-state drives cannot be damaged and their service life will not be reduced.
• Hibernation - This mode has been known to shorten the lifespan of early SSD models. However, newer SSDs are not so susceptible to this misunderstanding.

HDD damage

Neither Sleep nor Hibernation can negatively affect the useful life of a hard drive or cause unexpected damage to it.

Indicator activity

• “Sleep” - in this mode, the computer’s hardware indicators, if any, can show the operation of the drive, as well as other signs of activity.
• “Hibernation” - any hardware indicators in this case will be inactive. When looking at a computer, it will be impossible to understand whether it is currently running or turned off.

Getting started

• “Sleep” - this mode is characterized by the fastest possible transition to use after a pause.
• “Hibernation” - the Windows 10 operating system comes out of this mode for quite a long time.

You can configure the “Hibernation” mode in the menu “Control Panel”> “Hardware and Sound”> “Power Options”> “Change circuit settings”

Exit from mode

• “Sleep” - you can exit it using the power key, any button on the keyboard or mouse.
• “Hibernation” - you can wake up the computer from this mode only by using the power key.
