Does hibernate play nice with FDE? I know in Linux there are varying caveats around committing memory to disk wrt disk encryption

When resuming from hibernation I’m not prompted for credentials until the system has resumed, so I have to imagine the disk remains decrypted, i.e. same behavior as sleep.
