Is hibernation typically done through the swap partition?

I thought most OSs would just be using specialised sleep state files given that the hibernation image would need to be a serialised dump of all allocated memory whether resident on physical or paged out to the swap space. By extension, with swap disabled hibernation could still happen as long as there's enough physical memory free to handle writing to the sleep image on disk.
