In the Windows power options menu, it is possible to have it go to sleep when the lid is closed:

Is it possible to extend this functionality (or install a program) to automatically hibernate after the lid has been closed (or it has been asleep) for a certain amount of time?

You can use battery level monitoring to Hibernate the computer after it's been in Sleep for a while. Unfortunately, this is not tied to an exact time, just an appreciable drop in battery charge.

• In the Power Options dialog, click on Change advanced power settings.
• Set Low battery level to some safe value, perhaps 60% (though I've selected a lower percentage on my laptop).
• Set Low battery action to Hibernate for On battery and/or Plugged in.

This way, you can safely close the laptop, knowing the battery will not drain appreciably before going form Sleep to Hibernate.

look here for the image

Goto Power options > Change plan settings > Advanced settings > *Drop-down 'Sleep' > 'Hibernate after'

and then type the amount of time you want to specify.

The default time will be 180 minutes.
