	And I thought I was the only one having this problem.

	In my case, it seems to be the mouse rather than the computer that is 
the problem.  When the computer sleeps, the mouse catches a couple of 
z's also.  Meaning the red light goes out.  I have to wake up the 
computer using the keyboard.

	Usually, a few seconds after the computer wakes up, the mouse does 
also.  When it does not, sometimes just turning the mouse over will 
wake it up.  Sometimes I have to push the tiny button inside the hatch 
on the bottom to get it to wake up.  As soon as the red light begins 
fluttering, it makes contact.
