Yes. If you're concerned, look at smartphones. People literally wake them up and put them to sleep hundreds of times per day. If they're crapping out because of that, then 2 years times hundreds of thousands of sleep cycles divided by a handful per day for your computer means it's only adding like minuscule degradation.

 

In all seriousness, it's not doing anything harmful.

There should be no problem at all doing this.

 

The OS does not "deteriorate" during sleep.

 

You may find that you want to restart your computer occasionally (say, once a week or so, if you leave it on all the time). But whether you put it to sleep 5 times a day, once a day, or never, won't have any real impact in this.

In terms of deteriorating the OS, yea that isn't going to happen by putting the system to sleep multiple times. In terms of your hardware, it's probably even better to put your system to sleep rather than shutting it down or putting it to hibernate multiple times because every time you boot up your system, it'll create wear on your drives as SSDs have a limited number of read and write cycles, and HDDs have parts that physically move to read data. Now, is this wear something to worry about? No. Your system is most likely going to be outdated before your drive dies from wear and tear.
