Sleep mode
The Sleep command places the computer into a power-saving
mode. Sleep saves the current state of the computer to memory so
that, when you restart the computer, you can continue working from
where you left off.

Restarting from Hibernation takes a little more time and
consumes more main battery power than restarting from Sleep.
When starting up again, the computer returns to the state in
which you left it, including all open programs and files you
were using.
After your computer sleeps for an extended period of time, the
®
Windows operating system may save any open documents and
programs to your internal storage drive, and then shuts down the
computer.
While in Sleep mode, the computer uses some main battery
power.
Because the state of the system is stored in memory, you will
lose data if the main battery discharges completely while the
computer is in Sleep mode.
Restarting from Sleep takes less time and consumes less main
battery power than restarting after turning off the computer
using the Hibernation or Shut down commands.
When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode in
which you left it, including all open programs and files you
were using.
If the battery charge becomes critically low, the computer will
try to enter Hibernation mode.
If you power down using the Sleep command and the main battery
discharges fully, your unsaved information will be lost. Be sure to
save your work first.
