And why not just wake up, press the power button, then go do your daily morning routine (shower, brushing teeth, whatnot) and come back and it'll be booted?

To save money?

No, waste of electricity. Only time I leave it on overnight is if I'm downloading something.

"Sucking up electricity" is not an accurate expression. The amount of electricity an idle computer with the monitor off uses is practically negligible. Mostly it's just spinning the fans.
