How old is your machine? Starting 10 or so years ago, but really picked up the pace is "modern standby" or S0 standby. Basically in sleep your laptop doesn't go to sleep, it enters a "low power state" and even worse, keeps wifi on and tries to run background tasks. It's supposed to be quick to wake from sleep but it's not. S1 standby was incredibly fast to wake.
Literally the last thing I want my computer do do when in sleep is compute. I want it to use as little power as possible without dumping my ram.
I just use hibernation now. Fuck sleep. It was S3, but still wasting a lot of energy even though it's supposed to be handled by hardware after the kernel hands it off.
@raldone01@lemmy.world let me to the path of light. Boot is slow, but that's fine. Battery life is more important to me.
