I had to try this myself and found it's just easiest to leave the extractor fan on constantly. The humidity shoots through the roof with no air circulation, and that leaves you more susceptible to bugs and mold.

also if you are using a filter and smell is a concern, leaving your exhaust on will create constant negative pressure.

This is the primary reason to leave the exhaust fan running constantly, odor control.

I leave my fans on 24/7 for humidity and air circulation purposes. They do not use much juice.

another vote to leave it on. I leave my vent fan on and turn the oscillating fan off when lights are out
