Sleep & Hibernation Settings on your Computer
There are two main features on computers that most people are not fully aware of, they are the Sleep and Hibernation settings. While many people won't recognize these settings, they have probably realized that their computers have fallen into these setting at least once in the past. Here is what both Sleep and Hibernation settings are used for and how they operate.
The sleep setting on your computer is usually set up to make sure that no harm comes to your computer while you are away from it for a few hours. The sleep setting tells your computer to turn off the monitor, stop the hard drive and save your current programs and files that you were working on to memory. Many people walk away from their computer while mid task for hours at a time. The Sleep setting ensures that your work won't be lost and that your hard drive won't crash.
The Hibernation setting is similar to the Sleep setting. If you walk away from an active computer for more than a few hours or days, your computer will go into hibernation mode. Hibernation also shuts down the monitor, stops the hard drive and saves files and applications into memory, but it also lowers your computer consumption. Hibernation mode will stop your computer from wasting energy for long periods of time while it is not in use.
You can change the amount of time for these setting in your computers control panel. You can even turn off the setting if you wish. So now you can use these two setting to your advantage.
