  • what do you mean with "you can't" hibernate? doesn't it work or do you don't find the option to hibernate?

There are numerous duplicates of this question but I'm gonna answer it anyways....

To get the 'Hibernate' option type the following command in the terminal >>

pm-hibernate

If your PC succeed in going to Hibernate mode and you have no problem waking it up, then you know your PC supports the Hibernate feature. Then again in the terminal type/copy-paste >>

sudo nano /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.desktop.pkla

then add the following:

[Re-enable hibernate by default]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate
ResultActive=yes

Save (Ctrl + o) and exit (Ctrl + x).

Restart the PC. The Hibernate option should be visible under the 'Shut Down' dropdown.
