Even with a simple text editor, I wouldn't turn it off, because I don't
feel like having to reopen every single window that was open the day
before each morning. At best, I would put it in "hibernate" mode (or
whatever that's called), i.e the RAM is still alive while the rest of
the computer is off, so I don't have to reboot. That's what I usually do
at home.
I know it's not a very good habit, yet I am one of the most conscious at
work. Some others don't even bother to turn off the screen.
