Unless someone is running a server (or for an important test?) why would they 
want to leave a system running overnight?  In these days when we know of the 
disastrous consequences of excessive carbon emissions I can't help thinking 
that that is awful advice.  Deliberately using a few hundred watts for 
several hours unecessarily is irresponsible.

Or I could have missunderstood the post :~)
