I don't bother with sleep mode. The monitors black out after a few hours but that's it.
It (the main one) pretty much runs 24/7 with an occasional restart.

My main machine is running a dozen VMs 24/7; powering it down is a 20-minute job. Plus I'd be interrupting processes that should probably be left running all the time.
The machine on my desk is an Intel NUC and uses 40W at absolute peak load, I believe...Intel's claim is that playing a 1080p video off of YouTube burns through less than 10W. Letting it idle overnight seems like a no-brainer to me.
I also have a NAS which by definition should pretty much always remain available.
That said, I always leave my laptop into hibernation mode, as I simply don't trust sleep mode to ever resume correctly.

I'll have to try hibernate then. Sleep mode was never implemented nor behaved correctly. I'll always have kernel threads running for no reason after sleep mode.

I do. I close everything and then close the lid. Nigh-nigh laptop. See you in the morning.

Leave mine plugged in and walk away in the evening. But then I'm at the house not an office.

At office: shutdown every single day.
At home: I let the laptop battery die

Just overnight?
I don't think I've shut down or restarted my desktop PC in weeks. Maybe longer.

I used to. Then microsoft demonstrated they can not be trusted with it so I don't anymore. I am sick and tired of opening it up to find it powered on and too hot to touch after having closed its lid at the end of the day.

True, I've had those issues quite often after several OS updates. I had to check several times what was waking the laptop in the middle of the night (also, why wasn't it going back to sleep as it should after 30 minutes?) but couldn't find anything useful. Eventually I changed a setting to disallow the computer to wake up for updates, and now it's fine (until the next update that messes it up).

I shut it down completely when I'm done with it.
Closing all my work puts me in the relax mode so I do that anyway, and it's back on in a minute when I need it again.

Yep I do, reboot once per week

Hibernation mode for me, on the laptop.
