Problem with Apple Thunderbolt display

This sort of problem has been a source of great frustration for many owners of this wonderful external monitor/docking station. I have found no solution. I am in the habit now of shutting down before I connect, booting after I am connected, and rebooting if there is one of these "sleep events" or for some unkown reason the usb ports stop working.
The solution is to do a fresh install on your thunderbolt mac. I owned a few thunderbolt laptops and notice some had the problem and some didn't. My suggestion although extreme will resolve your problem. Enjoy!

I had a 13" 2011 MBP and now a 13" 2012 MBA, and use(d) both with my TBD and never had this problem. What kind of KB and mouse are you using and how are they connected?
I use a Apple wireless KB and one tap on the KB wakes mine up every time.
With all due respect I think if you search the Apple Support Forum on this topic you will see that there are indeed a large number of people that have problems of various kinds along these lines with the TBD. I have tried a reinstall and it did not solve my particular problem. I have been to the genius bar and they verified but were unable to solve the problem. It is difficult because it is intermittent. There are a variety of suggested solutions that work from some people and not for others.
If your comment was directed at me, I did not mean in any way to discount OP's problem. I was only saying it does work for me and was trying to see what OP might be doing differently that is causing a problem.
