MP-1 Preamp - Leave it on or turn it off?

Torn between leaving the MP-1 turned on 24/7, or turning it off at night and turning it back on the next day.

Is there a consensus about tube life? I've read leaving tube gear on 24/7 actually causes less stress on tubes thereby prolonging their life. I can't wrap my head around this concept. Seems to me not burning them half the time would extend the tubes' life, not prolong it...

Of course, there's always the environmental argument.

Thoughts?
