SmartSleep lets you select each sleep state. Additionally the new SmartSleep state lets your notebook just sleep while the battery has a high level.
If the battery level drops below a certain point (default is less then 20% or 20 minutes) it will switch to sleep and hibernate.
So you have the best of both worlds. Furthermore it will expand the lifetime of your SSD (if you have one) as your MacBook won`t write a hibernate file as often.
NOTE: SmartSleep can only be purchased via the Mac App Store (the buy link redirects you to its App Store page). To purchase/download applications via the App Store an Apple account is required.
