If you want hybrid sleep then unfortunatly yes you need hibernate...
hybrid sleep is awesome It will knock the computer almost out cold and if you lose power it will turn on as if it was hibernating unlike the old sleep where if it lost power the ram is gone.

Same applies to both laptops and desktops. As Boggin has said, saves GBs. I have it turned off on desktops too.

okay so what i've said earlier if you want to use hybrid sleep you must have hibernate on if you want to use old school sleep you take of hibernate what happens is if you computer is in sleep mode and the hibernate is off and you lose power to your tower everything would not be saved it would be like an inproper shutdown. now if you had hybrid sleep enabled meaning you have to have hibernate enabled as well. if would put your computer to sleep like the other sleep mode does but if the tower loses power it will reboot as if it was hibernating so it won't have an improper shutdown. so pick your choice do you want to save the gb space or do you want the extra file protection if you lost power.

Thanks, concise explanation.
edit: I am assuming that the HDD space "saved" by turning off hibernate is equal to the amount of RAM on the machine? Is that correct?

Had Word open, had print a file and run outside, by the time I get back, it happens again...

No doubt, its a virus, or back door hacker....
