On Fedora, gnome-power-manager is the thing that tells NM to sleep and
wake up.  Maybe that's the case for Ubuntu as well, I don't know.  But
please check and make sure your distro is correctly telling NM to go to
sleep and waking up.  The behavior you describe is consistent with NM
_not_ going to sleep, which is should be doing.
