for a laptop,

sleep mode power's down the hard drive/SSD, screen, dedicated gpu and active cooling. to save power

the cpu and main board are still powered on.

for hibernate, a cache of the applications and files that we're open is stored temporarily, "so the computer remember what it was doing" then power's off the entire laptop.
