[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1305836"] The hard drive is in fact PARKED when the computer is asleep, so there is NO correlation between sleeping and hard drive failure at all. Apple recommends you sleep the machine unless you are going to be away from it for a prolonged period of time (which IMO would mean more than 48 hours, with common-sense caveats if you live in lightning/tornado/bad weather country).
