Nothing to worry yourself about but if i were in your shoes I would clone your drive as a backup anyhow - I use superduper (it's free too).Hit me up of you need more info :)
Here's another solid freebie app:

Here's pretty much the same problem on the apple forums - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jsp ... &tstart=50 - looks like it doesn't affect all machines, but mine's one of them... Have tried all the workarounds suggested in that forum, but nothing works... sleep functionality is basically broken for some MBPs. At least the update hasn't killed Live for me... :)

MainMenu has worked well for me.

Menu Bar icon allows you to runs scripts, repair permissions, show invisible files etc very quickly.

Zap P-RAM, zap NVRAM and repair permissions usually fixes the odd problem for me.

In most cases there is not much gained with running the scripts (tons of blabla out there in the net...)

Apple - Support - Discussions - When does /etc/daily.local run? ...

Real easy way to run the scripts: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboar ... idget.html

For macbook's, remove power and battery, hold power button down for say 30 seconds. I do it twice to be sure.

Thanks for the link.

I see both the PRAM and NVRAM are reset with the Command, Option, P, and R key reboot. Thought NVRAM was a separate process.

when this happens check to make sure the screen isn't just dimmed all the way off.
I do find this situation often.

No, it's 100% not that, it's pretty much exactly the bug reported in the apple forum link I posted earlier...

Thanks for all the links everyone has posted.

I will not be updating at this time.

Hope Apple sorts it out soon.
