Windows 10: HD Life And Sleep Mode Question ? And Re-Starting Question.

Hello,

Happy Holidays.

Regarding Sleep Mode, which I've read also turns off the spinning
of the HD on my W10 Desktop:

Is there any evidence, or studies, that show that the lifetime of the HD
would actually be increased if Sleep Mode is used ?

Was wondering if the (not good) starting and stopping the spinning of the HD wipes
out any possible beneficial HD life ?

Thoughts ?

BTW: Let me ask this also, please:

Had a devil of a time getting my W10 pc going again after sleep mode.
Is there some magical key combination that is always pretty much guaranteed to get everything going again ?
(Keyboard and Mouse are both enabled in Device Manage to allow re-starting)

Regards, stay well,
Bob

:)

to save power like the machine was off, but be able to wake up and resume your work without interuption.

Programs do not close in sleep mode, so you dont lose any work you had open. I've even sleeped a machine while gaming (offline ofc) and woken it up and continued playing days later.
