That is not normal behavior. Macs wake up from sleep instantly when they are running properly (I re-start mine once a month, whether it needs it or not).
Whenever something is wonky with one of our Macs, my first stop is the Disk Utilities program. Run Verify Disk, Repair Disk (if there are problems), and Repair Disk Permissions. I don't know what repairing permissions does, but it often straightens things out.
