I power down the device before I go to sleep every night. What's the point of keeping it on while you're not using it? (Although I suppose an argument can be made that more power is drawn booting it up than leaving it sleeping for 12 hours -- however, I haven't seen any figures to support that.)

While I haven't done any methodical measurement, I have perceived the battery to last longer with the nightly shutdowns.
