Put into sleep overnight

[Gordon.C]

Hi,

I need to ask about sleep mode (not hibernation) in Windows. Is it safe to leave the computer in the sleep mode over night. You know time to time I forget to shut it down completely and I am curious whether it might cause some damage to the RAM if it stays several hours in the sleep mode?

it should be fine, that is what the sleep/hibernate mode is for.

nothing wrong with sleep mode. the ram is just being refreshed, nothing is changing.

I know some people that never fully shutdown their computers. For example, I know someone that kept his computer "on" for like 3 months by putting it to sleep when he's done.

In that case I think my instance here seems to be far too worried compared to your friend
