sudden long "sleep"-unconscious!

[Donald Hinkle]

I left my iBook alone for a couple hours with the telephone line 
connected and plugged in to power.
When I returned, it was dark, no blinking "sleep" light. I fiddled with 
it and pressed the power button a couple times. Zilch. I prayed, laid 
hands on, removed the battery and reinserted it, then pressed the power 
button firmly again. It started, and went through a long time on the 
initial screen with that little gear thingy turning, and then finally 
came up seemingly okay.
I'm going to restart from Disk Warrior and run that, but it seems I'd 
been passingly noticing some other notices about that kind of behavior 
herein and wonder if there's any consensus about the cause/cure?
thanks,
