It's less annoying to have extra whitespace in lines than having parts of words missing due to not fitting on the page.

For some texts, it may be useful to use "\raggedright" (don't do full paragraph justification, which looks less print-like but is easier to read).

\sloppy isn't exactly the best solution either. You get ugly justification and instead of using hyphenation, it'll add white spaces most of the time. The best solution here is to change a bit those advanced settings for hyphenation.
