[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1674843"] There's nothing wrong with turning your Mac or other device off sometimes. It's perfectly fine. Apple suggestion is to sleep the computer most of the time, and the company makes this suggestion for a variety of reasons, including that sleeping has less of an "inrush" than a cold start. The difference in power consumption between the two states is negligible, and in more recent Macs the PowerNap feature relies on the machine being asleep rather than off to do its thing. As long as you're not turning off your Mac by tapping your foot on the on/off switch on the surge protector and are doing a proper shutdown, if you prefer to shut down by all means feel free to carry on doing so.
