I'd like the option of choosing between partial sleep and full sleep. When I pack up my work laptop for the weekend it sucks getting to a Monday morning meeting and having the laptop be dead.

there are several ways to do that. You can either uncheck the setting for fast boot which means a full shutdown or you can just issue the shutdown command shutdown /s now

How does shutting down fix the problem of the computer not sleeping properly?

I'd rather just close the lid and have it not be dead the next time I open it. Sure I could do a proper shutdown if I know I'm done for the day, but in an office running from meeting to meeting that's not always how things work out.
