Topic: what happen if i put my switch on sleep mode and i dont use it over a week.

will my switch be damage, will it still work, will the screen be glitchy, will it be safe. i have a lot of question to ask so please yell me if it gonna be fine. its my first time using a Nintendo switch.

@Yugiohman Everything will be ok. Just leave a little light on for it nearby, and a teddy bear to snuggle, and all will be fine.

@Yugiohman
Turn off your Switch when not being used.
Take care of your electronic device.

It'll be fine, @Yugiohman .... I've had my Switch in sleep mode for more than a week before!

This and make sure to read to it before bed as well.

Nothing it starts where you last left it to sleep mode on assuming you left it on the Dock to charge when doing that. Only time this just affected in any way is if it does a update but if your doing a HomeBrew don't ask for help here it won't be coming.

If you know ahead of time that it may be a week or more, I would probably just fully shut it down. I play at least every few days or so, so I just sleep it.

I’ll be real, I have no idea how to actually turn off my Switch, so whenever it isn’t being used, it is in sleep mode on the dock. Only thing that’ll happen if you leave it in sleep mode for a week without touching it is it will run out of power.

@rallydefault if i dont it wont work anymore?

@SwitchForce i dont usually left it on the dock i usually left it on the case while in sleep mode

It really doesn't matter at all. I never shut down my Switch and it’s perfectly normal. I bet you could leave it for years and it would be fine.

If it reaches point of where it would almost out of battery like 1% or less it would go to super sleep mode where you need wake it up by charging it at any way, so when you start charging you be able awake it again. Had happen to me once.

@Yugiohman I don't think anything will happen aside from battery draining if not docked. Whenever I turn off my Switch it usually goes into sleep mode so it can be turned on via controller's home button (I do this with my pro controller). You can turn off the Switch comepletely if desired, but this requires using the power button on the Switch itself.

@Pizzamorg If you want to try it for fun, you hold down the power button on the system down for a few seconds until a menu appears. Choose Power Options, then Turn Off. To turn it back on, you need to press the power button on the Switch.

Don't forget to give it a bath thrice a week.

It should be fine. Just tell it to eat on time with regular exercise.

Oh so that was what was happening at the start of BOTW, Link had been in sleep mode for over a week, so they had to give him a bath to bring him back. I love how meta that game is, it is a game about the Switch on the Switch.

Why was it removed? I was just joking, I didn't actually mean dummy.

Well whatever the case, make sure you feed it Fried rice after the bath, oh and if it doesn't blow up by then.

That will slowly drains the battery. It's better if you turn it off to save on battery if your going to let it for some time. At 15% battery it will either turn off or go into lock battery mode where only will turn on after it has been docked to charge for a certain amount of time then you can power back on.

I rarely ever turn off my switch. I left it on for a whole year once, and nothing happened.
