Sleep can be convenient if you're going to use it later the
same day, for example.
If the OS is up too long (several days), it
starts to act weirdly and may crash at the most inconvenient
time (is
there a convenient time for a crash?). All OSes are the same
in this
respect, I think Windows is the worst, but Linux and OS X are
not much
better in this respect. Must be some sort of memory pollution.
I use OS X and I don't recognize that problem.
Maybe if it's up an running, it's not so bad. But if it goes to
sleep as well, then things get messy. OS X is not the worst
offender, but the safest thing is to reboot regularly to clean
the RAM. I don't know what exactly causes crashes and funny
behavior but I guess it's "polluted" RAM.
