Do I have to turn off computer over night ?
I have a Dell lap top and have been turning it off every night. Is this necessary. It takes a long time to boot up in the morning. I have win 8.1

This is false. Hibernating draws no power whatsoever. It saves the PC's RAM and other states to hard disk, then the PC shuts off.
Suspending draws power as it keeps RAM refreshed but hibernating is completely off. You can unplug and take out the laptop's battery if you want and when you turn it back on it will right as you left it. It is almost always faster than a complete reboot.
