I can't edit Mark's comments, but here's the correct URL…

If you don't want to install smartsleep (or Deep Sleep which is pretty good: http://deepsleep.free.fr/), then how about a purely physical approach:

What happened to that URL? I'll try it again (and then give up :-):

jinx.deDan,

I highly recommend SmartSleep by Patrick Stein. http://www.jinx.de/SmartSleep.html

"SmartSleep.prefPane is a preference pane that dynamically sets the sleep state of your machine."

Enables you to set your Macbook to sleep if there is lots of battery and only hibernate if the battery level drops below specified setting.
