You can try to remove usb module before going to sleep. In my experience on
my ibook, I cannot sleep one night with usb module loaded. The main reason was that usb
device must be alimented to be able to detect device insertion.
My conclusion is that you should remove usb, ethernet, firewire, sound... I don't know
which one change anything, but that's worth trying.
