I've personally found sleep mode to be pretty unreliable, particularly in terms of waking up properly. Even with Mac portables/OS X, a combination which is often praised as an example of the "right" way to handle sleep mode, I've still run into plenty of instances where a machine will only "wake up" part of the way - apparently powered on, but displaying a blank screen.
On top of that, I've found that such situations tend to confound less-technical users - since restarting a computer from that state often requires holding down the power button for a period of time, or physically removing the battery/pulling the power cord in some cases.

Sleep mode is the computer equivalent of instant-on. You're talking absolute maximum a 2-second difference....
