Should I shut down my computer at night

I know many people who just leaves their computer on all night but I don’t really see the point in it seems like a waste of electricity. Should I shut down my computer at night or leave it on all night?”

This is a personal preference, some people like to leave their computer on all night and some people like to shut down the computer at night. I personally like to shut my computer down when I don’t use it for long periods of time such as when I’m sleeping. It certainly doesn’t hurt to leave your computer on all night or shut it down at night.

Here are some points from each side, decide for yourself.

Why people leave their computers on all night:

For daily updates
For daily scheduled maintenance tasks
Full virus and or spyware scans
Sharing files on network or online
Downloading large files like movies
Why people turn off their computers at night:

Let the computer take a break and cool down
