Don't turn it off! :D
This is actually the recommended practice. The Tandy version of the System Administrator's Guide to Xenix states:
"We recommend, however, that you leave your system up and running 24 hours a day. Password protection makes your files secure, and the continuing successful operation of your hardware is more assured if the system is not turned on and off with any frequency. The cost of power to keep it running is offset by fewer hardware repair bills and less down time."
Of course, as you alluded to, this could also be interpreted as
"If your state-of-the-art Model 6000 68000 Xenix system is working...don't touch it!"
