When you say hibernate i assume you talking about deep sleep?

Maybe you can try changing the hibernation mode. Here are the details (googled from this site).

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode #

# ->

0 - Legacy sleep mode. It will save everything to RAM upon sleeping but does not support "Safe Sleep". Very fast sleep.

 

1 - Legacy "Safe Sleep". This is the "Safe Sleep". Everything your laptop goes into sleep, it will save everything to harddisk. Slow on Sleep and Startup.

3 - Default. As described above, when sleeping, contents are saved to RAM. When battery runs out, hibernate occurs.

5 - Behaves as 1 but applicable only for modern Mac that uses "Secure virtual memory".

7 - Behaves as 3 but applicable only for modern Mac that uses "Secure virtual memory".

 

I don't have much experience with hibernate on laptops as it never works for mine.

Hope this helps.

 

ps: the hibernated image is in /var/vm/sleepimage. Maybe deleting this might help if the above doesn't
