Sleep or shutdown

[rare jay]

Hey, I wanted to ask that is it okay if i keep my laptop on sleep in night instead of shutdown?

[sleek estuary]

shutdown because sleep is actually still on
if you have anything that requires leaving it overnight then sleep is ok

[rare jay]

I need the sleep function. I am just asking is it okay or it will damage components

[sleek estuary]

it is fine

putting your pc into sleep can be beneficial

Can u explain...i want to gain the knowledge

[full shadow]

Applications are all run in background when u put it on sleep mode. Set it to something hours of sleep to shutdown in settings

[fringe pawn]

sleep stores ur system state to your ram, and everything is in low power mode

then it can be wake up by an input

and no it's not beneficial. Sleep is sleep, does nothing to the kernel it's not a human

Its not damaging too right.. i can use sleep every night?

[fringe pawn]
