Do you turn off your computer at night or leave it sleeping?

I always love to put it on the sleeping mode unless the system starts to misbehave. Sometimes, I wonder if it’s really good or bad to do that, but honestly I don’t have the patience to shut down and restart every morning when I pick up my laptop. I just prefer to open and use it straight away. Once I open it, work continues. Back in the day I used to always shut down, but that was when systems were slower. Now everything is quick and there are features that makes life much more easier.

Of course, I have to put off my gadgets in the evening. The laptop battery might drain, and it can consume energy once it is in low battery mode.

90% of the times, the moment i am done with work on my laptop i just put it off. Even if it is during the day.

I also put off my laptop after using it in the morning or afternoon. It also needs rest. In the whole evening it's off. It might drain in the morning.

I switch off my laptop when I know I don't have to use it. I don't know if it's good to let the laptop sleep off. I don't know if the laptop is in sleep mode and consumes electricity.

It seems impractical to keep your laptop on in the evening. Evening has long hours and our laptop is not cheap, so we have to give it a rest to perform well in the day and in the coming days.

I believe that you should always turn off your computer when you intend to never use it. Even if you leave your PC in sleep mode, it will still keep running in the background, I reckon.

A tip I found when trawling YouTubes, If you're using Windows "shut down" does not completely close everything down.

You actually get a somewhat more complete close-down if you hold down the Shift key when selecting to shut down, though it does take some seconds longer the next time for the computer to start.
