What is the difference between shutting down your computer and putting it into sleep mode?

Generally speaking, yes, it is better to put the computer to sleep than it is to shut it down, for two reasons:
1. It's better for you - resuming from sleep mode is a lot faster than going through the entire boot up process.
2. It's better for the computer - resuming operation from a low-powered state is less harsh on you computer components than when you jolt it alive by turning the power on from a shut down state.

∙ 13y agoWhen a computer is put into "hibernation": running programs and other applications will be inactive, but the whole system is not completely offline because data is stored in the hard drive so you can quickly resume whatever you had going on. Be careful because files can be easily lost during this mode if they somehow get corrupted.
When you shutdown a computer: the programs and applications will be 100% inactive and you must boot the computer for everything to run again so it doesn't save and you cannot resume as fast.

"Sleep" leave the computer on but shuts off all peripherals and reduces the power consumption of the CPU.
"Hibernate" copies the content of memory to disk and powers the computer off, but leaves the computer in a state to reload memory from disk on power up.
