The tutor shares about Windows 7 sleep modes.<\/h1>\n<p>I find my Windows 7 computer sometimes a bit groggy after it&#8217;s been idle for a while.  This morning I began investigating it, and learned about sleep, hibernate, and hybrid sleep.<\/p>\n<p>When a Windows 7 computer is left idle, it likely goes to sleep to save energy (and wear). How deep its sleep is determined by power options. Apparently, a computer can sleep, hibernate or hybrid sleep. The way I understand the three:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sleep: open documents stored to RAM, but most processes suspended until user returns.<\/li>\n<li>Hibernate: open documents stored to disk, then computer shuts off: power to RAM ceases.<\/li>\n<li>Hybrid sleep: idle computer stores open documents to disk. Theoretically, the open documents are meant to be kept in RAM as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When a computer goes into hibernation, but is awakened, the previous state must be loaded from disk to RAM before it&#8217;s ready. This extra step can take extra time, apparently. However, hibernation offers extra protection against document loss due to power loss.<\/p>\n<p>HTH:)<\/p>\n<p>Source:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomshardware.com\/answers\/id-1653447\/windows-extremely-slow-resuming-sleep.html\">www.tomshardware.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/102897\/whats-the-difference-between-sleep-and-hibernate-in-windows\/\">www.howtogeek.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/answers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/forum\/windows_7-performance\/why-is-resume-from-hybrid-sleep-after-power\/d0b4311e-262a-4b8a-a8a5-4e49cdc5e765\">answers.microsoft.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\">Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a computer user, I&#8217;m constantly self-tutoring.
