I will always wonder why using hibernate if the power is going to be
switched off! Bears don't die when hibernating, they only reduce their
power comsumption.

The outcome of this reflection is that we would be better off using
'suspend to memory' (who know what 'ram' is outside geekland apart
from the demon slayer?) and 'suspend to disk'.
