A habit of always putting a machine to sleep rather than shutting it down may override the conscious act of deciding whether to put our devices to sleep or shut down. We save a lot of time in our lives not waiting for our devices to shut down and start back up, but we should not make putting our machines to sleep all the time our modus operandi.
It's convenient to close the lid of our laptops, go to a meeting, return, and open the laptops to be right where we left off without having to wait for our machines to boot.
