Okay, so you mean after playing in docked mode! You didn't specify that until now.

Didn't thought about that because I play Switch 1 + 2 almost always in handheld mode.

Yeah, for Switch gamers often playing in docked mode, that can be annoying.

On the other hand... the Switch 2 only draws 0.4 - 0.5 watts per hour in sleep mode (LAN deactivated), that is  3.5 - 4.4 kW per year. So just ~1 dollar/Euro per year energy costs... I can live with that.

And thanks to the battery a power blackout while the console is in sleep mode is no problem. A PS4 or PS5 or Xbox has to check all internal and external SSDs + HDDs after the reboot and sometimes has to repair damaged data. 

Yes, docked is what I meant 

It’s a minor inconvenience but it’s for me the only complaint I have for the switch aside from that I think the switch family is the best set of consoles Nintendo made
