RE: What happens when I put me laptop to sleep?
Hibernate will put all of the "stuff" that is on the RAM and place it as a file onto the HDD, and then it turns off (Or to be more simple, "It takes a screenshot of the RAM). So the more RAM you have the longer it shall take. And when you turn the PC/Laptop back on it will load the ram file (that is on the HDD) onto the RAM so all your programs will still be there etc.
Standby basically turns off power consuming components like the hard disks and monitor. It switches the computer or laptop to a low power state. Any contents of memory and unsaved desktop settings are lost.
Thus Standby DOES use battery power but only very little
