Recently Google increased the storage limit of Gmail. Few days ago the storage limit was 7.5 GB. But from now the storage limit is 10 GB!

So, in this post I'm gonna clarify the difference between sleep, hibernate, and hybrid sleep? Before finding out the differences lets start from the very beginning.
