Is it safe to leave a hard drive plugged into a router 24/7?

Hi there, I was wondering whether it would be OK reliability-wise if I left the hard drive that is connected to my router on overnight everyday. This is installed at the office and I normally turn off the router when I leave, but sometimes I forget to do it. I hope this was clear enough. If anyone could answer me I would be grateful.
