DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SLEEP AND HIBERNATE OPTION IN COMPUTER

From the past few days i was confused whether to use SLEEP or HIBERNATE..I searched many fact about both the term and found there are differences between them..And we have to use this two option wisely according to our use.
I know most of them know about it..But still i want to share this post as it was useful to me..
In many cases both the options play the same role but they have the differences too..

SLEEP also called as standby mode reduces the power consumption to a very low state but it needs some power to continue that stage of stand by..People uses SLEEP mode to quickly open the laptop as it does not take time by pressing the power button...We can use the SLEEP option only we have to open the laptop in a short while as it needs some continuous power supply to stay in SLEEP mode. Most of the documents are also closed in SLEEP mode..

But the case is different in HIBERNATE mode..HIBERNATE mode uses zero power consumption...This mode can be used when we want to turn of the computer for a long time...This mode can also be used when we don't want to close our documents..

So friends use this option wisely as it will save your battery and also your open documents before shutdown..
