Is it okay to unplug Apple TV?
I noticed that you can't "turn off" the Apple TV, only put it to sleep. Is it okay, if i put it to sleep and unplug it when I'm not using it?

Thank you for your answer! But is it harmful to the device (if I unplug it)? I just don't really feel comfortable leaving anything plugged in when I leave the house.
I don't think it would be harmful...just unnecessary.

I have an Apple TV, which has never been unplugged since I purchased it in 2012. Putting it to sleep is sufficient, and I don't have to plug it back in when I want to use it.

Even your refrigerator?
Unless you have very old wiring or you're using a lot of extension cords (both a cause for concern that should be addressed), you can safely leave things plugged in. The exception to this would be appliances that are intended to generate heat (iron, electric heater). If you have pets (or oblivious housemates) who might knock into them and cause them to be turned on, then unplugging them wouldn't be a bad idea.
