PS Vita doesn’t wake back up

ps-vita

I'm having problems with my Vita not waking back up from a long sleep. I play my Vita for a few mins a day and then leave it sleep/charging for long periods (I never turn any of my hardware off).

I was talking to a few buddies online and 2 of them out of a few that have it, said they experience the same thing where they let it go sleep and when they come back, the units "PSlog button" stays lit (sometimes not) and they have to do a hard reboot.

After the hard reboot, the unit comes up with some restore options etc. we press the restore option and once you hit that, system reboots, does its thing and all is well.

This doesn't seem like normal behavior for the unit so I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this and if so, if you've found a solution, or is my unit (and friends units) defective?

I've experienced this issue a few times. The only way to fix it is to hold the power button down for 10-15 seconds until the unit turns off and and reboots. From the recovery menu select option 1 (reboot) to load the system as normal. It only takes 30 seconds to fix so not a big issue.

Unfortunately, I haven't identified the cause of the issue. It happens randomly, probably when it tries to connect to the internet (hence flashing blue lights) and crashes.
