Some computers have a "hibernate" function which puts the computer in a low power/memory state, which resumes once you click the mouse, there's also a "sleep" function, which kind of "slows" yours computer down, while taking less power/memory, but restarting your computer after you shut it down will save energy because its completely off, not taking energy at all, starting your computer up would most likely take less, and equal out having it in sleep mode verses turning it off for a set amount of time then restarting it.

a few things that might battery longer help are: putting your screen on a lower brightness, if your computer has a battery plan try putting in on power saver or the lowest quality. note: the computer may suck if it is on this setting BUT it will definitely last longer. Finally lower the volume down to not waste the energy. Hope this helps!
