Mid 2013 MBP running 10.8.5 for about the last 6-8 weeks every once in a 
while, it won't wake up from sleep. Try to wake it up and no response. I 
have to turn it off and turn it back on. I am running monitor and 
Internet through the thunderbolt, my external HD is run from one USB 
port (that is a partitioned 2 TB with half SuperDuper! back up and the 
other half Time Machine. The other USB port has a non-powered hub that 
runs the receiver for the keyboard/mouse, a thumb drive, and iMic for 
recording and my printer. None of this has changed over the last few 
weeks since the wake up has caused problems. 
     The non-wake up appears almost random. Sometimes I will go for 3-4 
days with no problem, then sometimes closer together. It has happened 
after sleeping over night and then after sleeping only a couple of 
hours. Of course it has also woken up fine after overnight. 
       I have looked through the Apple forums and the logs but have only 
come away even more confused. Any suggestions?  I mostly use Word which 
I save every minute anyway so losing data isn't all that much of a 
problem. But I was wondering if shutting it down using the on/off switch 
instead of the shut down command could cause software and/or hardware 
problems.
