Lay off
As detailed by Microsoft on its technical support page, the Windows ‘sleep’ button will cause your computer to ‘turn off’, but not completely, but rather it will enter a kind of ‘standby mode’ where it will consume little energy.
Since your computer won’t be completely off, it will be much quicker to turn it on, and the best thing is that all the windows or programs you left open before you hit the ‘sleep’ button will be just as you left them.
Hibernate
The Windows ‘hibernate’ button, on the other hand, fulfills a fairly similar function; however, it is only available on laptops. They will enter a sleep mode (as if it were turned off), but will continue to consume a minimal amount of energy (less than sleep)
On its official website, Microsoft recommends using the ‘hibernate’ button when you won’t be using your laptop for a long time. Once you decide to turn it back on, all the files and windows you left open will appear the same.
On some laptops the ‘hibernate’ option does not appear. To activate it, simply enter the following path: settings> system> start/stop and sleep and finally additional power settings.

Windows 11 causes performance issues on some NVMe SSDs
Some people who have installed Windows 11 on their PC report that the random performance of their NVMe SSDs was reduced quite significantly. The issue most often affects random write speed, which can be 2-4 times slower than it used to be before the update. This does not appear to be a problem with a specific drive as it affects multiple manufacturers.
Interestingly, some users report that the issue only affects the drive Windows 11 is installed on, a second SSD on the same machine runs at full speed. Also, sequential read and write speeds are generally not affected.
This issue wasn’t discovered recently, posts started appearing on Reddit at least three months ago, when Windows 11 was still in beta. In one of them, a Microsoft employee confirmed that the team is aware of the problem and is investigating its cause.
The source of the problem has not yet been clearly identified, but some possible causes have emerged. One of the things that users initially pointed out was that Virtualization Based Security (VBS) makes the performance of the SSD fall. While a more recent discovery suggests that the problem has to do with the drive that contains the installation of Windows 11.
