I don't think I'll ever be able to remember which of suspend and
hibernate means suspend-to-disk. Perhaps its easier for native English
speakers, or perhaps I need my brain fixed.
Then use the English dictionary to learn that hibernate is what some
animals, e.g. bears as a long sleep over the winter, thus is considered
a longer sleep.
Or, use a mnemonic device of some sort to help. For example, spell them
out:
Suspend <-- shorter (less letters)
Hibernate <-- longer (more letters)
Suspend takes the shorter time, and is RAM, and hibernate takes longer
to do, thus suspend to disk.
