Turned on, yes.

But each cycle of heating/cooling/heating puts thermal stress on every component and every junction in the system. Sleep mode keeps a trickle of electricity to the most critical components, and keeps them warmed a bit. Hence, less stress.

I transport my laptop everywhere, and I think I reboot it about... never, except for updates.
