Do you turn your computer off at night?

Just to clarify, is shutting down and hibernating using the same power? (no power that is) I prefer to hibernate when I turn my comp off b/c it takes less time to load up..

Computers still draw power when turned off. Only way to cut it completely is to either unplug it or turn the power supply off in the back.

yes hibernate dumps some stuff to disk and then does a normal shutdown. some power is still being consumed when off, same amount for both
