I have always used a "double tap' on the space bar to wake machines.

I can confirm your experience. It seems to be getting worse and I run lxde
for a minimized desktop. I recently have explore ways to manually flush
the cache and memory. It helps, but sometimes I have to reboot the machine.
I am not sure what is at the root of this "deep sleep" on my gentoo machine
either. I suspect the kernel, but it's  only a guess. There is lots to
tune these days, if you have time to read upon things.....
