When it goes to sleep, it still eats up Battery isnโ€™t it? So why to keep it in sleep and not shut down, unless you have too many working/office applications opened

The M1 macs are very efficient. The battery consumption isn't very significant even if it's left on sleep for a day

you don't need to and it's not recommended either. usually when you restart it (especially everyday), it loads up all apps and services again which increases strain both on the CPU and the battery. however if you're not going to use it over a holiday or some weeks altogether then it's nicer to turn it off

I'll be getting the m2 next week so probably that will be the 2nd time I'll shut down my current Mac. M1 is truly flawless.
