I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. I use hibernate every night for my computer (and often at least one point during the day) and I don't have any problems with my system. Hibernate is a great tool to reduce power consumption (I think it drops your computer down to around around three watts instead of the multihundred it could be consuming otherwise) and as long as you aren't actually running something like a virus scan or updating windows when you put the computer to sleep there shouldn't be any issues.

You're using "hibernate" and "sleep" interchangeably.
"Hibernate" and "sleep" are two different things. Sleep mode is where the system is being stored to RAM and being left in a low-power state to preserve the RAM's data. From personal experience, this is where I've typically had the most problems.
Hibernation is where the data is placed on the hard drive and the computer is completely turned off. I've usually had no problems with this mode, laptops or desktops.
Don't know why one would cause more problems than the other, it just does.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
