Hello my question is this....

My computer is left on most of the time, I have no problems with this. When not used, its simply put to sleep. But what I'd like to know is if its ok to leave the Airport plugged in and left on for long periods of time? E.g. Months? Also I'm a little worried about radiation emitted as its plugged in right next to my bed. Should I be?
 
I have it exactly the same way and my Airport Extreme is always on. Works great! I don't care about a possible radiation and probably thinking about this too much might be more harmful than the radiation itself. I don't have the base station near my bed though and although it might not be harmful for your health, it might disturb your sleep. That's why I don't have any electronic devices in my bedroom.
 
well my airport express died last night for no reason. but airport extreme is meant to be always on
