No time limit. If we keep the system on sleep mode, the the system will consume less power. It prevents from frequently on and off of the system.

A computer can be left in sleep mode for a short period of time. If you were working on the computer and need to go out to answer the call of nature then you can leave it on sleep mode. At most only about 20 minutes will do. In cybercafes, computers are left on sleep mode because they do not like to turn them on everytime when a customer wants to use it and off when they stop.

If you are going to sleep, ensure to turn off the computer.

There is no fixed number of hours. But keeping it long enough just drains you battery. So make sure to open the device or start the device after say 9 hours or so minimum. more hours than that would not be good for your device. And also not good for the system too as it tends to be unsure of the saved state of the system.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, it's recommended that you put your computer into sleep mode if you're not going to use it for more than 20 minutes. But it can overheat in sleep mode. So it is also suggested that you shut down your computer if you're not going to use it for more than two hours.

You can leave your computer in sleep mode for up to three days without affecting its performance.

Sleep mode is a protective measure to protect your computer from being in when you're not looking. It allows the computer to sleep without being active. This way, it can run at will if you don't want to.

You can leave your computer in sleep mode for several days without issues, as it consumes very little power. However, it's recommended to shut down or restart occasionally to refresh the system. If you plan to leave it unused for an extended period (weeks or more), consider shutting it down to conserve energy and prevent any potential issues.
