You cannot set a "proper" storage size for hibernation - during hibernation the entire contents of RAM is written to a file, hiberfil.sys and hence - the size will be equivalent to the home much physical RAM is available.

During sleep state, no data is written to hard disk( unless it's the newer "hybrid-sleep - in which case the above paragraph holds true).
