Don't confuse a computer going to sleep with shutting it down. Just because your computer screen is dark does not mean it has shut down. Although I often leave my computer on, I do shut it down occasionally to "clear its memory" and give it a fresh start. I often find that it may run a little bit faster, too.
Shutting your computer down occasionally also is VERY important if you have chosen to have updates installed during a shutdown. Frequent updates (primarily on a PC rather than an Apple product) help keep your computer safe from viruses and running well.
If you're unsure how to turn your computer off, let me know the Operating System (XP?, Vista?, Windows 7, 10?) and I can send you instructions as to how to do that.
