Sleep and hibernation
If you don't use Surface for a few minutes, it goes to sleep just like a laptop. Sleep is a power-saving state that
allows Surface to quickly resume when you want to start working again.
By default, if you don't use Surface for an hour, it will go into a deep sleep called hibernation. While sleep puts
your work and settings in memory and draws a small amount of power, hibernation puts your open documents
and programs on your hard disk, and then turns off your Surface.
