I close it, but I don't turn my Hard Disk off, because every time you turn it on or off, you reduce the life of the HDD. My last one didn't even last a year.

It happens, because every time the HDD starts to spin, it has to warm up. The sudden temperature change causes wear and tear. But you can still conserve energy by telling your computer to turn off your display after 5 minutes and go to sleep after an hour. I set my hard disk drvie to turn off in 24 hours(1440 minutes). Don't tell it never, because if you go on a vacation and forget to turn it off... that could be bad. And don't obsess over keeping it on. It is okay to turn it off every now and then. If you cut the number of times your HDD turns off in half, it will still really increase the life of your drive. This should really increase the longevity of your hard drive(and your precious data).

i leave mine on all of the time at nights. i leave it on because
so that way that I can listen to music to help me go sleep. and
than when i wake up, i pick up my laptop and go to work on it.
the only times that i turn my laptop off is when i need to charge
my battery when it is low. other than that, i don't hardly turn it
off unless i have to go somewhere. than i turn it off than too. :)

No i never forget to turn off my laptop eventhough i really sleepy i make sure i shutdown laptop because go to bed. I dont think its bad but ofcourse your electricity will get high if you always forget to turn off your computer. And i think laptop became heat if its open for a long time. Anyway, be sure to off your computer if your feeling sleepy already. Goodluck to you here in mylot.
