I prefer a full system shutdown as the OS gets to start with a clean slate.

Like you, I avoid sleep, even though it saves power.. It doesn't save as much as a full shutdown, I am happy to spend the extra few minutes booting my Xbox/Playstation/Switch/PC.

With the Switch/Switch 2, just hold the power button for at least three seconds to access the power menu... Then select "Power Options," and then choose "Turn off".
Not sure if there is some vampiric power draw after the fact, it's been awhile since I have played with any of my Switch consoles.

I know how to turn off the Switch 2, Nintendo obviously doesnt know you can make it where you can do that without having to physically push and hold a button, its not like its rocket science since Playstation and Xbox (and pretty much any computing device is capable of doing such a feat).

On Xbox you also physically push and hold a button to shut down the console: push + hold the Xbox-button, then select "power down"... 2 steps.

On Switch 2: push + hold the Power button, then select "power options", then select "power down"... 3 steps.

On PS5: push PlayStation button, then push down button, then scroll left or right to "Power", then push down button to "Turn Off PS5", then push X-button.

It's not rocket science, but the procedure on PlayStation needs the most steps.
