I sleep my MacBook Pro (running 10.4.11) all the time, numerous times  
a day. Sometimes there will be a dozen programs open for weeks. I  
think your issues with sleep have been solved.

So far so good.

Now should I also set it to have my hard drive spin down when it sleeps? 
That setting used to give me really big headaches.

Same OS, same result:  sleep numerous times a day, hard drive spun down.  Never 
a problem.

I vaguely recall a problem with waking from sleep 5 or more years ago 
but can't recall if it was on a Mac or a Windows machine.
We sleep our Macs several times a day and sometimes leave computers on 
for weeks at a time and never have a problem with sleep.
I think we do have problems with using a browser for weeks at a time 
without shutting it down, but I've given up on advising my wife about this.

Okay. On your advice I have enabled sleep on my Mac. From an energy 
conservation standpoint I would be happy if sleep now worked, but if I 
lose any work you will probably get flamed.

Do keep us posted though!

I wonder if hibernation problems have to do with the on-board,
always-on, anti-virus/anti-spyware/firewall software?

That stuff does cause problems. That is why I keep it off the computers I 
set up. Despite this I still see hibernation problems. So I disable that 
function.
