I'm having an issue that I haven't seen on here yet and was wondering if anyone is having the same problems. Whenever I put my MBP to sleep for long periods of time by just closing the lid the trackpad becomes unresponsive and I have to shut it down to get it going again.

So, to be a little more clear, let say at night I put my computer to sleep by just closing the lid. Well, then next morning when I open it back up it wakes up ok, but then I can't use the trackpad at all. I have to push the power button and hit enter (so, the keyboard works) to be able to start using the machine again. I've experimented with it a bit, and it doesn't do this for short sleeps (like, say I close it, wait half and hour, then ope it again and it works fine.

Anyone experienced this and have any advice? Thanks.
