Contrary to a lot of folk here, instead of putting my laptop in sleep mode I instead put it in Hibernation mode. Is this bad to be doing a lot? I have to do it because the battery in my laptop has degraded so much that I've heard it wake up in the middle of the night whilst in sleep mode and then just die.

Hibernation saves an image of the laptop to the hard disk as far as I know, though I haven't really gone exploring the particulars of it too much, at least not in recent times.
