My Powerbook G4 sometimes will not wake up from sleeping -- I hit all the keys and nothing wakes it. I found that I can simply pull the power plug, though, and this seems to force the machine into a different sleep state that can be woken for a single key press of the Space Bar (or any key probably).
It's simple, but it will save hours of frustration (OK, minutes and a lot of work) if your machine doesn't wake up in the middle of twenty projects (as mine often is). Normally I would have had to push on the power button until the machine died, losing all my work, in order to restart it.
