The Importance of Hibernation Mode

Hibernation mode conserves battery life and protects your data. Hibernation can be
a routine power-saving event or the result of a low battery. As your computer
enters Hibernation, it automatically saves the content of your computer memory to
the hard drive before it turns off.
Your computer will automatically enter Hibernation mode when the battery has
little power left or when your computer (operating on battery power) has been in
Sleep mode for more than one hour. You can also activate Hibernation mode by
pressing the Power button once.
To restart your computer, press the Power button once. While your computer
enters or wakes from Hibernation mode, it displays a Progress window.

NOTE: If you are using battery power, your computer will automatically enter
Hibernation mode after one hour in Sleep mode.
