Well that depends
Usually you set these in the gnome settings under power settings.

However systemd can be used to control these. There are several targets
(hibernate.target, suspend.target and sleep.target) which are used to
enter a different "state".
You can change the settings in the logind.conf.
Please check
man logind.conf
for all the options.
