Does powering down your computer wear it down?

Let us consolidate many questions in the same articles. Say if you have any of the following question -

• Is it OK to shutdown your computer everyday?
• Is it good to shutdown your computer every night?
• Is it bad to turn off your computer with the power button?
• Is it OK to keep your computer on 24 7?
• Does sleep mode damage your computer?
• How long can I leave my PC in sleep mode?

And, if you have any more question on the same feel free to ask.

Even if you do keep your laptop in sleep mode most nights, it's a good idea to fully shut down your computer at least once a week.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, it's recommended that you put your computer into sleep mode if you're not going to be using it for more than 20 minutes. It's also recommended that you shut down your computer if you're not going to use it for more than two hours.
