You can go into the power options and set a time for the system
to go into suspend to ram (standby), and a longer time for it to
go into suspend to disk (hibernate). The system should go into
suspend to ram, then when the suspend to disk time happens, it
should automatically wake up, and then suspend to disk. You get
the advantage of a 5 second wakeup if you restart the system
soon, and have less chance of losing stuff if you forget the
system in suspend to ram for a long period of time.

What I have not seen in Windows is the ability to suspend to ram
*and* to disk, with restore from ram if there was no power outage
and restore from disk if there was.
