71,963OSX supports real hibernation not only that sleep mode that costs electricity. It really supports it. But you gotta enable or disable it manually. So what to do:
- open terminal window (I assume you’re logged in with your normal user account)

enter this:sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0 - to enable hibernation when closing the lid
enter this:sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1
Enjoy folks…
