Thought I might offer this, even though I don't understand it, in case
anyone else has a similar issue.
For over a year now, I have made it a practice to shut down my laptop (HP
Pavilion) to the "sleep" or standby mode. (Not the hibernation mode). It
shuts down the hard drive and video and puts the computer in a low energy
use.
But, whenever I have wanted to awaken it by hitting any key on the keyboard,
it has been very random in terms of how quickly it "wakes up". Sometimes
it will spring back to life almost immediately. More often it takes
anywhere from 15 seconds to over a minute before the display turns back on.
Once in a while it has taken so long that I had doubts it was ever going to
"wake up". I've tried to find a reason that is software related,
unsuccessfully. It's just random.
A couple of weeks ago I took some pictures with my camera and uploaded them
to the computer using a USB flash card reader.
When I was finished, I forgot to unplug the card reader and left it plugged
in.
I have discovered that with the card reader plugged in, the computer
responds immediately after hitting a key to awake from sleep mode. Not once
in the past two weeks has it been sluggish or random like it was for the
past year. Unplug the card reader and it goes back to it's old ways.
I am curious if the reason is due to loading the power supply a bit with the
USB card reader in, or is it a software issue related to the computer
re-recognizing the existence of the card reader as another drive.
Whatever the reason, it works. So, now I just leave it plugged in.

I'm not technical enough to solve the problem. Mine sometimes sleeps and
sometimes leaves the screensaver running all night. Who know what evil
lurks in the heart of ... The Shadow Knows!
Anyway, your second paragraph sounded very much like what I'm going through
with our 14 year-old bearded collie. I actually wondered one morning if the
dog was alive after shaking it for a while. >> Stay informed about: Computer sleep mode |

Over the years, I've given up on trying to figure out why Windows does
what it does. I have my laptop setup like yours and it does pretty
much the same thing card readers or no card readers.
There's no sense to it - one week it's fine, next, you gotta hit it
with a hammer to wake it up. >> Stay informed about: Computer sleep mode |

Our 16 year old chow spends about 23 1/2 hours a day in the puddle of
fur position, a state difficult to distinguish from death.

I have no idea from here what is causing your problem.
I do have a suggestion though. Use "hibernate" mode for your laptop. My
SO's laptop was left on 24/7 until it finally started over heating and
shutting itself down. The problem, dust bunnies in the cooling fins for the
CPU. It took me the best part of day to figure out how to open the damn
thing to get at the cooling area.
Had to get to point where I could remove the motherboard which meant the
keyboard, HDD, display, cables and several parts had to be removed.
Probably three dozen or more miniature screws. When I got the motherboard
out, the cooling fins were completely plugged of a couple of years ingesting
the dust bunnies.
If you use hibernate mode the machine completely powers itself time after a
user selected period of time. This minimizes dust ingestion. The recovery
time on our laptop is less than 15 seconds after touching the power button.
HTH. >> Stay informed about: Computer sleep mode |

Agent sometimes refuses to find the server. It has several different
error messages. I have found that if you open IE then it will dial up
the server, and then Agent will be happy to use the connection.
Usually. Sometimes you have to reboot. I am using a ten year old
version, so I am not knocking Agent, which I like a lot.

I leave my desktop and server "on" all the time. The monitors go into
sleep mode. The Mac is only "on" when I turn it on. Everything is
plugged into a very large APC UPS. If I am around when there is a
significant thunderstorm in the area, I do shut everything down. Couple
of years ago, a tree about 50' from the house was hit by lightning, and
a few "electronic" toys in the house were impacted.
Agent? Blech! :>) Overkill by a factor of 100 if you are simply
reading and posting text. >> Stay informed about: Computer sleep mode |

Sometimes Agent will time out trying to retrieve a message body. I'll try
it again, it'll time out again. Then I'll try a new message. No sweat, in
half a second the message is displayed. Then I can go back to the first
message and retrieve it. I'm using version 1.91, which has been around a
while. I like it. >> Stay informed about: Computer sleep mode |

He has a special one. It was gifted to him by Bill Gates for testing
on his LTP, but he can't tell you because it's a national secret only
he and a few world leaders know about;) It's code name is "Lobsta
Boat"...  >> Stay informed about: Computer sleep mode |

There is a little more power being used in sleep mode as it needs to keep
power going to memory. Eventually, the batteries will drain, and it will
switch to hibernate mode. Not a concern for a desktop, but it is of
minor concern for a laptop.
Personally, I keep my desktops running 24/7, but not my laptops. I don't
really think they were built with the necessary cooling. I did manage to
fry an old Thinkpad. A capacitor melted. It might not have been
inadequate cooling, as there were a bunch of defective capacitors out
there when the Thinkpad was made. >> Stay informed about: Computer sleep mode |

I experimented with both "sleep" and "hibernate" modes. Frankly, as far as
power usage is concerned, I don't see any difference.
In both, the display, hard drive and cooling fans stop operating.
The reason I started doing this is, as you pointed out, over time you build
up dust and the cooling becomes less effective.
This laptop is over 6 years old and I used to just leave it on 24/7. I
started shutting it down because I was concerned the cooling probably wasn't
as efficient as when it was new. But, so far, no problems.
