In Sleep mode the computer will wake up in several seconds In hibernate mode it takes several minutes.
So I guess  hibernate is a deeper sleep.
But seriously, hibernate uses less energy, because the computer puts the info from ram onto the hard drive and shuts down those components. checkout my stand-up comedy performance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75fbevlz10g If you like it, please forward or post on your social network.

Hello list,

I know this might be off topic. I was just wondering what is the difference when your computer is sleeping and hibernating?
