First time I used my MacBook Pro I haven’t got why there is no hibernate option!!!

After searching the web I found this article: http://www.geeked.info/make-my-macbook-pro-hibernate/ which helped me a lot understanding Hibernate Modes in MacBook Pro

The solution he provided is really great but actually I use the sleep option more than the hibernate one and I prefer to get the hibernate option when only I want to hibernate. So I find it silly to type everytime I want to hibernate “hibernateon”, putting my MBP into hibernate mode and after startup I have to type “hibernateoff” coz I don’t need hibernate option next time!!!

So simply I made a new command called “hibernate” which satisfy my needs

The command simply turn hibernate on and then parrallel execute shutdown and turn hibernate off

All you have to do is to add the follwoing line to the .bash_profile file that is located in /Users/YourUserName/

alias hibernate="sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 5; sudo shutdown -s now && sudo  pmset -a hibernatemode 3"

Then execute the following command in the terminal

source .bash_profile

Now whenever you want to hibernate, just type hibernate in the terminal
