That entirely depends on usage. I use mine a few times a week or so, so I shut it down. That also clears the RAM. If 8 hrs/day, I'd still shut it down in between uses. Have programs/apps, a work environment, that needs it on 24/7, then definitely leave it on with an occasional restart to clear RAM.
Sleep is also an option to save energy in between uses, like short breaks.
