Hybrid Sleep consumes about the same amount of power that Sleep mode does. Check Advanced Settings under Power Options to view the settings. Hybrid Sleep is typically turned on by default on desktop computers and off by default on laptops. When hybrid sleep is turned on, putting your computer into sleep automatically puts your computer into hybrid sleep, so there is no special selection for you to make or setting to change to engage Hybrid Sleep.

Hybrid sleep is a combination of Sleep and Hibernate modes it places any open documents and programs into memory and onto your hard drive and then places your computer into a low-power state so that you can quickly resume your work upon return. Hybrid Sleep mode is designed primarily for desktop computers.
