Suspend to ram is same as sleep. Hibernate dumps ram contents to disc and completely turns off. Waking up from sleep (suspend to ram) is fast, from hibernation you need to read the whole file back to memory.

This is true, but I'd like to point out that hibernation to NVMe is almost as fast as sleep. The lines between memory and storage are blurred these days.
