    Like the user above said: control panel > power options > "choose what closing the lid does" I personally set it to hibernate when I press the power button, I have a little towel thing on my palm rest to prevent fingerprints so the lid is never fully closed.

    you mean you want to select hibernation but you didn't see the option to select hibernate in "choose what closing the lid does"?

    I believe he means it's already set to sleep. You can select hibernate by clicking the drop down menu. It should be the second option. Sleep and hibernate are a bit different. When you hibernate the computer basically turns off and uses no power but saves the data thats on your RAM, and HD. When it sleeps it keeps the CPU, and HD running and it uses some power. Sleep always resumes faster then when you hibernate.
