Thanks for the helpful replies.  At this point I am ready to assume that
Stand By and Hibernate are equivalent terms.  When my computer goes into
Stand By, the HDD stops spinning, the monitor goes into a black screen, low
power state, etc.  When I come out of Stand By, it is necessary to press the
power button on the computer.  Then, the screen comes to life and I have to
click on my user icon.  It all goes very fast.  I've never had a problem
with this, and use it most often, only rebooting about once or twice per
week.

 

I checked in Screen Saver, as directed, and found under the Power option
that Hibernate is enabled.  Were it not, I was prepared to not enable it
owing to the critical comments posted about it.  However, it works
flawlessly for me.
