I can't think of a good reason to leave a Plus on overnight. I wouldn't
bother to turn it off several times a day though. You're probably right in
thinking that it will benefit the Mac if you give it a rest.

Note that this does NOT apply to fan-cooled Macs with large drives installed!

I have no hard evidence on this topic. Don't blame me if your Mac blows up.
