I'm quite a new Mac user and I've heard that is not good to be restarting a computer all the time. I use my computer in a daily basis and I'd like to know whether is better for the computer to switch it off and on every time a finish or start using it or to put it to sleep instead. And, is it good lo leave the computer sleeping overnight or better to turn it off?

    Just put it to sleep. There's no reason to be shutting your machine down all the time.

    There was a lengthy discussion about this in General Discussion recently:



    Sleep Or Shut Down?



    In short, Macs are very good at managing energy when set to sleep. Sleep is preferred to shut down in nearly all cases.
