Are there adverse effects from not allowing sleep mode?
There are the following adverse effects:
- The computer uses more electricity if it's left to sit idle for a long period of time and doesn't go to sleep.
And the obvious: the computer uses more electricity when in sleep mode than when "fully" powered off.
Ditto for when using "soft" power off (the normal way), as opposed to *real* power off (switch on back, or unplugging, or switched outlet).
Quite astonishing, actually, when one measures the differences.
Cheers
