'sleep mode' kills keyboard and mouse?
OS : Mavericks
Keyboard: cable
Touchpad: bluetooth
Problem: after waking up my mac mini from sleep my keyboard and touchpad won't work ... connecting a wired mouse will allow me to move the mouse pointer but I still can't enter text ... I have to completely shutdown and restart the computer to get everything to work again!?
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Have you made sure you've patched your mac? A fix should have come out last year.
