    What long boot process lol get a SSD already.

    Also think about the environment if everyone left their computers to hibernate we'd need a lot of energy :anprim-pat:

      the whole point of hibernation is that it uses the same amount of energy as when the computer is shut off

      everything in RAM gets written to the disk and then loaded back into RAM when your computer boots next time
