I would shut it down.

For so many reasons....one reason is that OS9 just doesn't seem to like being put to sleep. Things seem to get wacky in sleep mode...Another is that some harddrives over heat after being on for too long, which coz them to freeze, or even worse, die.

This is just from personal experience. I stopped using sleep in OS9 after a handful of crashes, and my roommate curently suffers from that over heating HD problem as well as the sleep problem....
