Does sleep mode fuck up your ssd life span?
Are you part of never turning off pc master race or do you turn it off like a pussy?
No
I use sleep because it's faster
No, in fact it increases the life span.

SSDs life shrinks when it is active. You don't use anything to the disks when they are off. Hence sleep mode or turning off the computer, which also turns off the SSD, saves life span.

doesn't sleep mode write image blocks to ssds causing them to wear out way faster? Or is it linux/mac os only?

You've got sleep/suspend confused with hibernation.
Sleep (aka. suspend on Linux and maybe OS X) keeps your session in RAM, and keeps your computer in a low-power state in order to keep certain parts (namely RAM and motherboard, maybe CPU, I'm not entirely sure) alive. Nothing is written to your SSD or HDD. Restoring from this is instantaneous since the most "vital" parts are already powered on and the session is already loaded. This is by default what happens when you close the lid on your laptop, for example.
Hibernation, on the other hand, saves your session to your SSD and HDD and power off the computer completely. Restoring from this takes a little longer than restoring from sleep, but still faster than a cold boot. As an example for this, most laptops will, by default, automatically enter hibernation once they run out of battery.

Never had a problem, I shut mine down completely.
I started after realizing my computer uses >200w at idle because it's overclocked.
