A good reason to make sure your computer sleeps when you leave your work station is to protect your work and your privacy. It can be a problem if your work is still available when members of the public can walk by and see the screen, especially if you have private or secure information in the program/document. But you don’t necessarily want to shut everything down to protect everything, as it can take a lot of time to everything set up again when you return to your work station.
