Couldnt find a thread like this. Do you turn your computer off at night?

I would also like to hear answers on the geekier side. Which extends the life of your computer the longest?

I always turn it off at night because I feel like it needs to rest. Because it gets hot doesnt it? And because I know that some programs that may have memory leaks may be using up all my memory and it wont go back down until I restart.

So take the poll and then explain your answer.
