    I hibernate to save battery life. I reboot when I notice a slowdown.

    or if you are not into following links

    stand by
    low power consumption
    very fast boot up

    hibriate
    no power consumption
    but a 10-30 second boot up

    i use hibrinate all the time and it works great between classes etc. sleep uses some power where hibrinate doesn't at all, i would use hibrinate if you can stand a couple of seconds to boot up.

    sleep i believe kepts your ram on and shuts the remainder of your computer down

    hybrinat copies your ram to your disk drive then shuts down the ram as well as everything else.

    That's right, yesterday I accidentally left my notebook on sleep and took it off ac, but it only used 1% of battery power and I had it like that for about 2 hours or so.
