I shut it down when I'm done, because that's what I've always done...it started when my parents would yell at me for leaving the machine on unnecessarily.

Bleh, my machine forced me to shut it down today. I was not happy....

But mostly I don't turn this computer off; I just let it sleep.

I shut down my PC at the end of the day or when I'm not going to use it for some time, I would hibernate, but I can't select that for some reason. :\

I really don't have a need to keep it on constantly, and my bed's next to my PC so I don't want to hear that during the night. I shut down and use a power bar.
