Warming the CCD after use

I am wondering what the conventional wisdom out there is about either just turning cooling off or clicking on "warm"at the end of an imaging session. These options refer to MaximDL but I imagine they are there in other programs as well.
Do you just turn it all off and go to bed or go through a warming cycle before doing that? I suppose there is a theoretical risk of damaging the sensor if it goes from very cold to ambient too quickly.
