Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
When your computer is running, all of the programs you are running at that moment are stored in RAM. RAM is much, much faster than storage, but when electricity isn't flowing through it everything stored in RAM is instantly destroyed. That's why you lose data when your computer shuts down unexpectedly.
When you hibernate, all RAM is transfered to storage before your computer shuts down. Next time you start your computer, it is restored to the exact state it was in. This takes a while(3-7 minutes), so you'll see it say "preparing to hibernate".
I recommend you not use hibernate too often. It's not good for security or stability. You can disable it in power options (start, run, powercfg.cpl).
