Sleep mode makes the computer "Stand By." The monitor turns off and the computer goes on power saving mode. Hibernation turns off the computer off, but saves everything that you were doing (such as your internet pages or word documents open at the time) for when you next turn on the computer.

When you turn on your computer again it will recover the hibernation file and restore everything exactly the way it was when you put it in hibernate. Sleep mode keeps your computer on but puts it in a low power usage state. It still uses battery but not nearly as much.
uses:
hibernation- turning off your computer for long periods of time and semi-quickly resuming your session
sleep- leaving your computer for a short period of time and immediately resume session.
