If it's a laptop, you shouldn't be leaving it on all the time. If it's a desktop, it's debatable. Are you leaving it on for a reason? Like to download large files? Like movies or something? Or do you just leave it on while it does nothing? My parents used to leave their's running day & night, since someone told them it's better for the hard drive. Not true. Eventually their fan stopped working and the computer over heated. So if I were you, I would turn your computer off especially when you're not home. And yes, I am all for saving the environment too, so the less power you use, the better off we are. Hope this advice helps.
