Installed W8 last week - now my mouse and keyboard are unresponsive when coming out of sleep mode. Tried unplugging both then reboot then plugging in again. Help and Thanks!

Could be a delay issue while its waking. Wait for 2 minutes after waking and see if it works. If it does not then your best bet it to disable sleep mode or remove windows 8 if you must have it.
 
I believe M'soft have work to do in this area, my desktop misbehaves after sleep, I've updated BIOS and ACPI drivers as recommended round about, but to no avail. Actually it boots so fast I can manage without sleep, so I've disabled it meantime until the developers get their act together...
