That's what this article was about actually. Explaining hibernate, the consequences, giving a realistic impact of using it, explaining sleep and the benefits.
Always give your computer 8 hours sleep per night to keep it healthy
Sleep works great until you are the unfortunate winner of the computer randomly deciding to wake up and your GPU power cable deciding 4am is the best time to shit itself.
Also fun boring dystopia problem, my "smart" TV for some reason kept triggering one of my workstations to come back online through wake on LAN. Moved the TV over to its own vlan and of course that problem is partially solved.
Yeah I had the problem of my mouse randomly registering 0.1mm of movement from a dust particles moving and turning the PC on randomly. I just use shut down, everything else is too annoying.
