[QUOTE="technologist, post: 55901, member: 4134"] Do whatever you like. Sleep uses almost no power, and yes, the disk does spin down and the read/write heads are parked. It's perfectly "safe" to transport your laptop while it's asleep. (Yes, even through airport X-ray machines.) And it is, of course, much faster to wake up than to start up. I've heard that starting up from scratch puts more wear on the hard disk, but I doubt it'd make much difference either way. [/QUOTE]
