I always forget to turn the camera off!

No, really. Must often, I get the camera out of the back, and it's already on.

Am I alone like that?

Is there any adverse effects to that?

My worst habit is turning it off. And back on, and off, and... trying to quit
need to stop the wear and tear on the on/off switch

The camera goes into a sleep mode when forgotten on. No negative.
Thanks for confirming. That's what I hoped. The battery life didn't seen affected but I was scared something with the mirror wasn't placed in transport mode or something when not turned off.

I see I'm not alone in forgetting to turn it off.

Is there a "parked mirror position" when it's off?

If there's nothing specific and battery loss is minimal then there's no issue I guess.

I do not think that the On switch will wear off. In 4 years since I have got my D3300, I switch the camera at least 2 times a day, mostly 4 or more times. Till date the switch is fine. Same with the USB connector. I transfer data using USB cable and do it at least twice a day.
