Now I know that the manual seems to say either is fine and it is just about time , but I can't help but wonder why many of my Mac owner friends insist on sleep over shut down ..... Maybe just the nature of the OS. Just wondering what everyone else does?
Sleep doesn't use much more power than power off and the instant wakeup on the book you were reading is handy. One warning is to turn off the autosync feature which can be a battery hog.
