(Bedside mode option is new to the 4.7 OS)

Maybe its becasue I'm new to blackberry, but does it help to shut down the blackberry everynight for couple of hours? What is the reason for this? My guess is that maybe when RIM updates BB software its done when it turns off/on?
Nope. Nothing like that - it's just for your convenience.

I have no idea but is what are the POSITIVE and NEGATIVE of using this Auto ON/OFF setting on BB? Thanks
There really aren't any pro's/con's. It's simply a matter of preference.
