Do I have to turn off computer over night ?

It doesn't need to be turned off. But if you do want to shut it down you can set it to hibernate instead of a complete shut down. That will allow it to startup much faster than a complete restart. Hibernate allows the computer to turn completely off, but saves the memory state, open apps, etc., to the hard drive so when you turn it back on it is right where you left off.
