awake from hibernate
I can find lots of information on how to get my laptop to hibernate but nothing to say how to wake it up again. Do you use the power button in the same way as to wake from sleep?

Hi EXSUDBURY,
Yes press the power button to wake from hibernation. To wake from sleep you can either press the power button or any key.

Thank you. However, research indicates that hibernate is supposed to be better than sleep because it reduces power requirements and awakes quicker. In my experience, to wake from hibernate seems to take a bit longer. When I switch the laptop on in the morning I just tap the power button and it immediately starts. Trying the power button with hibernate was more unreliable. Tapping the power buton wasn't very successful and pressing it too hard switched the machne off - and that rather defeats the object.
