While both Sleep Mode and Hibernate Mode are Power Saving Modes in Windows 10, the Hibernate Mode is specifically designed to conserve battery life on Windows Laptops.

When Hibernate mode is enabled on your laptop, it will be setup to save data to a hidden file (hiberfil.sys) located on the hard disk, without draining its battery life.

When you return back to the laptop and turn it ON, you will be able to resume work from from where you left it off.

In comparison, the Sleep Mode saves data in the system memory, while consuming a small amount of Power or battery life.

1. Enable Or Disable Hibernate Mode in Windows 10
