With the newer computers the "Sleep" (stand by) mode works fine. If it's "days" before you use it again then i usually just turn it off. The computer runs a "Maintenance" program around 2:00 ish in the morning so it doesn't hurt to leave it on overnight once in awhile if you don't use it very often. It won't do the maintenance if the computer is asleep tho. So disable the "Automatically Sleep" option for those days. You can still use the "Display Sleep" no problem. I believe it will still do the maintenance if you turn the "Put hard disk to sleep when possible" mode in the Preferences/Energy Saver. It just pauses the hard drive so it's not spinning until you need it.
