After 10 or so minutes of inactivity my monitor shuts down (well, screen black, not actually pushing the power button on the monitor).
When I know I'll leave for half an hour or more (and I'm not downloading something big), I hit the physical sleep button on my keyboard. Iunno, not needing to go through a couple clicks on the start menu and instead just pressing two buttons makes me more likely to use it.
Lastly, when I'll be gone for multiple hours (sleeping, working, etc.) and I don't have a huge or particularly slow download, I shut it off. But I never turn off my multi plug rectangle, unless we got a heavy thunderstorm.
