Putting my laptop to sleep?

I've heard it's better to put your computer to sleep instead of shutting down every time unless you are not using it for a couple of days.
Usually to get it 'to life' again i press the space bar a couple of times but sometimes pressing buttons or the mouse doesn't work.does it harm the computer if its on sleep mode to press the start button?

Answers:

No harm. I put my computer to hibernate now and then as it is convenient.
i really dont know i hibernate my computer
if it goes to sleep mode, just press the power button, it will return back to original screen you left..
