did you shut down you computer when you go to sleep..

No, I leave my computer running and turn off the monitor. It is usually doing something even when I am not at it.

I always leave my computer on when i'm asleep. The noise doesn't bother me at all so i just leave it on unless the forecast says there will be bad thunderstorms overnight or the next day. Then i might turn it off when i go to bed but generally i live it on when i'm asleep.

Hi! I usually leave my computer on when I go to bed.

mulau_ I have my desktop set up to run its virus program at 2am. I set it up so that when the scan ends, the computer is turned off. I always turn off my monitor though.

mulau2u I always shut down my computer and mymonitor so our electic bill will not be sky high, computers use a lotof electicity. also I hate the blinking blue light on my monitor as it bothers my sleep too. so I shut all down 'before I go to bed. No use running them when I am asleep lol.

Hi there mulau2u! Befor long, I do not shut down my pc, and it work 24 hours a day. But recently I find my fee of electricity is boost up. So I have to control my Pc's working times, for I am a poor person. HaHa.

Yes, I always do it.

I always shut my computer(s) down when I am sleeping... more out of habit than anything else. For some reason, it also makes me feel like I have a fresh start rather than coming back tot end to what is left of yesterday. It's more of a personal feeling than anything else. I will leave it on and put it in sleep or hibernate mode occasionally when I have I something unfinished that I know I won't feel like going through the time and trouble to set up again until it's complete though.

No, I prefer downloading stuff from net and when I go to sleep my computer do that. :)

Hello dear mulau. I always turn off my computer when I go to sleep at night, but I don't if I have a nap after lunch because I would still use it for a short while after getting up from the nap if I still have some time available before going to work.

i shut down my computer before going to sleep, electricity nowadays are expensive and so we should not waste it....

Yup..I turn it off and take the cord out of the wall when I go to bed. even turned off, but with the cord in the socket, the compuiter still draws out 30 percent of the electricity you use when it's on. But totally unplugged..adds up on electrical savings. Want to save on your electric bill? Unplug and take the cord out of the wall. Not only will you save, but if there would be a storm at night and lightening would hit, you could end up saving your computer. (Even with a surge protector, a computer can be ruined with a strong lightening strike!-It happened to us here, so we can guarantee that!)

I always shut mine down before bed, but only because it drives my hubby nuts if I don't. He's always worried about the power bill.

I shut down my computer once a week.

Oh, yes, I turn my computer completely off when I go to bed. I also turn it off when it's done doing its virus scanning and I am going to be out for a long period of time. I've had problems going into sleep mode on this computer because of some of the programs that I run, so I don't let it do that. I don't want to prematurely wear out my computer and I don't want to waste electricity on something that I am not using.

I would only turn off my computer if I have to leave it alone for more than two hours. So I don’t turn it off before going to have my 40 minutes or so afternoon nap. I usually will turn off my computer and unplugged the connecting wire, before going to work in the afternoon and before going to bed at night. I was told that if the computer is to be switched on 7/24, would shorten the lifespan of it.

Off...course,..i'll definitely don't go to Sleep if and if ever I did not see to it that the computer is Off and Unplugged........ *just in case of conserving energy to avoid maximum payment in electric bills* *jam* -live life- keep it simple***

When I go to sleep, I just leave my computer on. My husband works abroad and we have different time zones, so I have to stay online because we usually talk about 3 a.m. before he goes to work.

Sometimes we shut it down and sometimes we don't. My husband has trouble sleeping from time to time so he gets up and either gets online or watches tv. Since the computer does a virus scan on boot up it takes awhile, which irritates him, so if he feels that he might be up later, he leaves it on.

Hi mulau2u, after using computer I always see to it that it was shut down properly., and I unplug all electricity after using it because I am preserving electricity.Also one of the reason is for safety measures. Before going to bed or going out I am checking all appliances, especially computer and after checking and unplugging it that's the time to sleep or leave the house.I am practicing this techniques to be practical.Thank you!
