So I have an Amazon FireStick hooked up to a single 24" screen monitor. I don't have the monitor hooked up to any computer. I'm using it strictly only for the FireStick. So the FireStick doesn't have an option to turn it off. Just a sleep mode option. So my question is: Is it okay to leave the FireStick plugged in at all times just in sleep mode or should I unplug it when I'm not using it? I ask because I find it annoying to unplug it every time I am not using it. I want to comfortably just sit in my chair and turn it off or on whenever I please. Probably a silly question but I'd very much appreciate anyone's opinion on the matter. Thank you!

yeh I'd just leave it.  It's basically like a chromecast or apple TV right?  You wouldn't unplug those every time you aren't using them

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.
