OSX 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)
- to disable hibernation, and enable standard sleep
enter this:sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
- to enable hibernation when closing the lid
enter this:sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1
Enjoy folks…

actually, sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 25 is recommended if you want to turn hibernation ON always
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3 is recommended if you want it to hibernate only when the battery is low
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0 to use ‘sleep’ mode (no hibernation, ever)
