I recently bought a desktop PC - it's the first I've bought for possibly 10 years and it's got Windows 10 installed.
I notice that these days, there is no option to Hibernate anymore, just shutdown or sleep.
So I'm wondering, if I'm only using the PC occasionally - maybe once every day or two - should I be keeping my PC in Sleep mode or should I shut it down completely?
I'm thinking more in terms of energy costs. How much energy does it cost to keep your PC in sleep mode? Is it negligible or substantial enough that during long periods of non-use, I should be shutting down the PC?

@AbAppletic : yeah I think Prehistoricman's answer is what I needed, so I've given him the correct answer – RoboShop – 2016-07-23T12:49:34.937
