Dumb Q: How often do you completely shut down your Mac?

I feel like this is a bit of a dumb Q, but I’m very interested to hear what other people do:

How often do you shut down your Mac?

I’m a millennial (30F), so I remember the days when you always turned off your computer when you’d finished using it. I now spend at least 8 hours a day on my 2023 iMac and I just realised I’ve never fully turned it off… literally never, except for a few occasions as part of troubleshooting, or moving offices.

So, dear reddit: Am I a computer illiterate, polar bear-killing maniac, or is this normal? Will this reduce the life of my Mac, or is this how it’s intended to be used? I just let it fall asleep when not in use 🙈 but I’ve just realised how much power this may use. Idk why but this realisation has blown my tiny mind 🤣 I just hope I’m not going to kill my Mac, the planet, or polar bears by doing this!

Please be nice haha! I’m smart in other areas I promise! (I have a PhD in a science, obviously not computer science lol) Interested to hear your thoughts xx
