Ouya freezes coming out of sleep mode

Powering down fully when the console is not being used would be preferable. Is there any way to power down aside from unplugging the console?

Hold the power button for like 3 seconds and it gives you a Shut Down prompt. Click ok and it shuts down. You risk damage to the device by unplugging it when on.
