No! i usually turn it off and not used to set a timer to turn it off/on. Why? Hear about Phantom Load? While you think you’re conserving energy by turning off lights and appliances, many of the common electrical items today are actually on “ stand by” mode.
This is a design feature to provide us the convenience of time - this convenience costs us money because they continue to use electricity even when they are not on. This mysterious draw of electricity is known as a phantom electrical load.
A phantom load (PL) is an electrical device that is operating 24 hours a day 365 days a year, even if you think the device
is turned off. These are the glowing red lights you see at night, reminder lights that your appliances are using electricity
even when you think they are off. They have hidden energy cost that most people are never even aware of.
In fact, electronic devices like these can consume 5 to 8 watts each even when “off”.
Regardless of the electrical power source, phantom loads waste energy because they don’t do anything in return for their power
consumption. While in the individual sense, these phantom loads are small, in the collective sense, we’re wasting enormous
amounts of electricity.

I sleep with it on. Never used the timer but it helps me when I wake up. I leave it on pbs and depending on what show is on I know how much longer I can sleep or if I need to get up right away.

Sometimes I forget to turn it off, but when I feel sleepy I set the timer.

Sometimes I sleep with it on and sometimes I sleep with it on, depends where I sleep. If the tv is on while I am sleeping, I only sleep for 4 hours at the most but that might be because of where I am sleeping not because of the television.
