@justin.donie@... That's a shame because all my Win7 PC's go to sleep quickly and wake up in less than 2s.
You need to check that your machines' BIOS are up to date since the BIOS controls bringing the PC's major components out of sleep and is controlled by the hardware manufacturer, not the OS.
Also make sure your drivers are up to date: bad drivers can prevent the machine from sleeping and resuming smoothly.
Finally, apps can prevent a machine from sleeping. To see if any apps are causing your machine not to sleep, run the following from an evelevated command line:
powercfg -requests
