3 - 6 Power-Saving States

Power-Saving States
You can use power-saving states to stop the computer's operation and restart
where you left off. Sleep is the default power-saving state in Windows Vista.
Earlier versions of Windows used Stand By and Hibernate as system power-
saving states. Windows Vista combines the features of Stand By and Hiber-
nate into the default Sleep power-saving state.
Sleep
In Sleep all of your work, settings and preferences are saved to memory before
the system sleeps. When you are not using your computer for a certain length
of time, which you specify in the operating system, it will enter Sleep to save
power.
The PC wakes from Sleep within seconds and will return you to where you
last left off (what was on your desktop) without reopening the application(s)
and file(s) you last used.
If your mobile PC in Sleep is running on battery power the system will use only
a minimum amount of power. After an extended period the system will save all
the information to the hard disk and shut the computer down before the bat-
tery becomes depleted.
