A power-saving state for computers that saves the current state of the operating system and open applications to the hard disk before powering down completely. Upon restarting, the system restores the exact state it was in, allowing for a quick resumption of work without losing data. This differs from sleep mode, which keeps data in RAM and consumes a small amount of power.
