Apparently, Apple notebooks have a standby mode that is a deeper sleep than the standard sleep that happens when you first close the lid. This standby mode kicks in after an hour of normal sleep by default to help save battery power. Good feature to really help save battery drain while the computer is sleeping.
However, there is a draw back. It takes about 10 to 15 seconds after the lid is open before a password can be entered. If I'm a hurry, 10 to 15 seconds seems like an eternity.
Fortunately, there's a way to adjust this behavior. Here's the command to use in terminal:
sudo pmset -a standbydelay 86400
The 86400 is the number seconds in 24 hours. This can be adjusted to what ever works for you. To check the setting:
pmset -g

Hope this helps you.
