My tablet seems to go into a hibernation state

[Android Central Question]

Hello,
I have an RCA Pro 12 tablet. Sometimes if I leave it, it will turn off and go into what seems like a hibernation mode. To get it back on, I have to hold the power button in for about 30-45 seconds and then it seems to reboot, which can take a minute or 2 to complete.
The funny thing is, if I had any programs running when I left the tablet, they are still running after it reboots, so it isnt really a reboot, is it?

Can anyone tell me what is happening here? Is this normal behavior?

Welcome to Android Central! That's not normal. Is there a power-saving mode turned on, or a 3rd party battery-saver app installed? Does it also happen in Safe Mode? On most Android devices, while powered on, press and hold Power until the Power Off menu appears. Press and hold the Power Off selection until the Safe Mode prompt appears. Tap OK.
