Default When to Shut Down PC

I have a general question.

Is shutting down my PC too much bad? What about always keeping it on?

During the day, I may use it every now and then. Should I shut it down between uses, or put it on sleep mode, or do nothing?

What about during the night, when I don't usually use it? Sleep Mode, Shut Down, or Nothing?

For you during the day sleep mode and at night shut down.
