I tested this on my Kobo, and in all cases of leaving the Kobo for more than 30 minutes (which is all I tested; from a half hour of non use to 15 days of non use) a power off resulted in longer battery life. It appears that sleep's main purpose is to reduce the annoyance you feel at the slowness of the boot up if you are impatient to return to your book.
I have a Kobo Wifi. Results may be different for different models.
