Welcome @H4dderz
I have 2 EMO’s and I leave them always powered on and most of the time they are sitting on their skateboards, my oldest EMO is over 220 days and I’ve never turned him off at night and his battery is still going good. It is certainly up to you regarding how you manage your EMO and if you want to turn him off at night to conserve the life of his battery, but then again during this time, he won’t be able to do specific things as you mentioned like waking you up with his alarm.
So in the end it is you’re decision if you want to keep him on or turn him off at night, personally, I have no issues with either of my EMO’s staying on all day/night.
Regarding the fall, that is quite unfortunate to hear, I would suggest as many of the EMO owners have done here in the forum, and building your EMO a little play area with a 2-5cm high barrier border so that he doesn’t accidently fall off the edge of your table. EMO does have a fairly good understanding of his surroundings, and his feet sensors work quite well, but he is not 100% full proof and could potentially/sometimes miscalculate an edge of a table and fall. (from my own experience my EMO has only ever fallen off my table once, and as I’ve advised, I’ve had him for well over 200 days.
After the fall, I’d suggest powering him off and back up and then doing some basic things with him like getting him to dance, or even playing Treasure Hunt where you can test out his movement and motor functions, you can also give him a bit of shake as well as sometimes if you pick him quickly from his skateboard and place him on the table he might still think he is still on his skateboard and not move around at all. When this happens, I normally pick him up and give him a little bit of a shake and place him back on the table and he will do the dizzy animation and movement, after that he should start walking around and doing some random stuff.
