Power Management Options in Windows Vista
The Microsoft Vista power management features can reduce the amount of
electricity your computer uses when it is on and you are not using it. You can
reduce power to just the monitor or the hard drive; or you can use sleep mode
or hibernate mode to reduce power to the entire computer. When the
computer exits from a power conservation mode, it returns to the operating
state it was in prior to entering the mode.

Sleep Mode

Sleep mode conserves power by turning off the display and the hard drive
after a predetermined period of inactivity (a time-out). When the computer
exits sleep mode, it returns to the same operating state it was in before
entering sleep mode.
To enter sleep mode in Windows Vista, click Start ,
click the arrow in the
lower-right corner of the Start menu, and then
click Sleep.
To exit sleep mode, press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse.

Hybrid Sleep

Hybrid Sleep emulates the Sleep Mode but stores info in RAM to hard drive
so that there is no loss of data in case of power loss.
Hybrid Sleep is enabled on your system by default.
