    It should be quite OK to turn off Hibernation. If you do want to leave the laptop on for a few days and it is likely to sit idle for most of the time, then either set it to stand by or set the power options to turn off the Hard drive and LCD after certain period of inactivity. This helps save some energy and also elongates the life of the compnents most likely to fail.
