Windows 10: Disabling hibernation - is it supposed to stop the screensaver working or monitor sleeping?

I recently decided to disable hibernation so that I could delete hiberfil.sys and free up 6gb of space on my SSD.
I assumed this would just stop the PC from going to sleep, but it seems to stop the screensaver from activating and also prevents the monitor from sleeping.
After re-enabling hibernation, they work as normal.

Are the screensaver and and monitor sleep options dependent on the hibernation setting being available?

Sleep,hibernate, and shutdown

Hi,

Usually, Sleep and Hibernate features are used to save power when using a computer. However, hibernate may not be available for all PCs as it was designed for laptops. Regarding your concern, since you’re trying to turn
off or disable these features, you may follow the step below:

• To turn off Sleep:
  
  Go to Settings > System > Power & sleep. Then, select
  Never from the drop-down list under the Sleep section.
  
  
  
  
  
• To disable Hibernate:
  

• Type Command Prompt in the Search box from
  Start.
• Right-click on it, then select Run as administrator.
• In the Command Prompt window, type powercfg.exe /hibernate off and press
  Enter. Close the window.

Hibernate / Sleep not working when HDD Write Caching disabled ?

I always disable the HDD setting 'Enable write caching on the device' from within Control Panel > System > Device Manager to reduce data loss.

However when I disable the option, Hibernate and Sleep stop working.

The monitors will turn off but the computer does not switch off. It will also not wake back up.
