Hi there Sogol99,


It sounds like you're asking how often you should power your MacBook Air off and if there are any specific conditions for putting your Mac to sleep. We're glad you've joined us in Apple Support Communities, and we can provide some guidance.


To start, you can shut down your MacBook Air as often as you'd like. Learn more from the links below:


Log out, sleep, wake, restart, or shut down your Mac

With that said, you can opt to put your Mac to sleep if you'd prefer. "It takes your Mac less time to wake from sleep than it does to start up after being turned off." Have a look at this link for more information:

"You can set your Mac to go to sleep after a specified duration of inactivity. You can also set your Mac to go to sleep and wake up at a specific time." This link provides detailed steps for specifying sleep and waker settings for your MacBook Air:
