the only caution here is that you should shut down all running processes under 
your control.  I've had mail crash on me while leaving it open for sleep.

I always put my macbook to sleep, simply because it takes about a second to 
wake up, which is really convenient. Of course, if I know I'm not going to use 
it for two days, or I'm traveling or things like that I shut it down, but if 
not I just close the lid and it goes to sleep. I didn't do this with my Windows 
machines because after a few days everything would slow down, but with the mac 
it works just great.
