I've always used Ctrl for that. I had my computer for 2 years before I discovered that Ctrl is the "wake from sleep" key, and no other keys would work anyway. (it's a thinkpad)

I don't. I move the mouse.
I was very very very drunk.
Numlock. Let's me know if the hardware is locked up, powered off, or just slow to wake.
space, ctrl, or sometimes the entire numpad at once. it's just one big button :P
Am I the only one that just kind throws my hand on the keyboard and what happens happens?
I'm so surprised people have specific buttons? Is there a reason? I just mash my whole hand at the keyboard
Idk habbit I guess. IT just feels wrong pressing anything else.
I just stare at it loathfully until it wakes up out of shame.
(Or maybe it's my enraged vibrations transferring to the mouse through the table and causing it to move, same difference.)
Shift, Escape and mouse wiggle, in that order.
Been using spacebar but what I would like to do is set up a midi drum pad as an input device so I can wake my computer up by smacking it with a stick.
