Does your laptop have a synaptics touchpad (try running synclient -l) before a sleep event to see if the client responds.
When your touchpad fails to work, can you try the following please as root:
modprobe -r psmouse
modprobe psmouse

Since synclient worked before and not after, I think you'll need to unload the mouse/touchpad module after sleep followed by a reload. I am not able to tell you which module your kernel has loaded for the mouse, but sometimes you can find it easily with lsmod | grep -i mouse.
