Why wouldn’t you turn it off? I would turn it of at the end off each workday. Booting a computer is a few minutes at the most, you don’t need to be up and running within seconds each morning. Push the power button, go get coffee, login, start work.

That's a good advice if you're a clerk. As a developer, I have services, daemons, build processes, open sessions of any kind, it's just simpler to let the PC idle a few hours than restarting all those sessions every day!

Sleep mode handles this already, no?
