What's the systemd equivalent of "HIBERNATE_MODE"?

Question

So my laptop hangs when going into hibernating (Lenovo x120e). The page on it in the Arch Wiki says to get around this, in pm-utils I would have to set the following at
/etc/pm/config.d/hibernate_mode
HIBERNATE_MODE="shutdown"
However, this article is a little outdated, and the cool new thing is to use systemd to handle all this. Unfortunately though, I'm having trouble finding exactly what exactly would be the equivalent to this.
My first guess would be a service file that specifically tells the computer to power-off after initiating hibernate, but I'm not sure.
Anyone have any insight on this?

You can configure the actions for suspend, hibernate and hybrid-sleep using /etc/systemd/sleep.conf, see systemd-sleep.conf (5) for details.
The defaults are (taken from code):
* suspend:
... no mode
... state: try mem then standby then freeze
* hibernate:
... mode: try platform then shutdown
... state: disk
* hybrid-sleep:
... mode: try suspend then platform then shutdown
... state: disk
source:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/sys … p-config.c
explanations for state and mode:

PS: If you want to use uswsusp or tuxonice, you'll have to create a custom executable similar to systemd-sleep, then disable e.g. the systemd-hibernate.service and replace it with a service that calls your custom handler instead.
