I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean. Are you putting your computer in Hibernation mode? or sleep mode then? You mention both in that post, but first you said it was hibernation mode. Hibernation mode will power off your computer, but keep a memory of the stuff you previously had open. Sleep mode is similar, but it consumes battery power.
Sorry for the misunderstanding in the last post, I was wrong, I meant to state that Hibernation mode takes a snapshot of the stuff you had on your computer running at the time you put it into hibernation mode, and powers off your computer, whereas sleep mode, only keeps a few things running on your computer, but still consumes power throughout the time you have it 'sleeping'.
I still need to understand whether you're sure that you put it into sleep mode or hibernation mode though. Sleep mode will not keep your data available on wake up, but hibernation mode will, and will seem that your computer powers off.
If it's a laptop though, they usually shutdown because they overheat, otherwise some will restart. That's why I don't use laptops, and I would never recommend keeping a laptop on. Desktops are different.
