Different brands may change.

Sleep: After a computer is idle for a period of time, it enters sleep state. Sleep State means that when a user wants to start working again, the computer can quickly resume full-power work. Putting a computer into sleep is like pausing a DVD producer: the computer immediately stops working and is ready to continue working.
 
Hybrid sleep: the system will recover from the memory if it is powered on. If it is powered off, it will recover from the hard disk, so you don't have to worry about data loss.
