[QUOTE="clint1986, post: 808504, member: 50227"] Personally I shut the machine down if I'm done using it. I know some electrical appliances that offer standby/sleep functions like televisions and computers will just be using unnecessary electricity. It seems a complete waste. I don't know how bad a specific Mac would be in this regard, but I've developed a habit of powering down anything I'm not using just in case. The only time I ever really sleep my Mac is if I'm making a quick trip down to the kitchen to put together a snack or running to the laundry room to empty the washing machine or tumble drier. That's assuming my Mac isn't in the middle of something. :) [/QUOTE]
