Which iBook model do you have?  There are two different problems for the 
G3 vs G4 models.

If you have a G3 iBook, the problem is caused by a kernel bug, but you 
can fix it in one of two ways:
(1) there is a work-around which involves a small modification to the 
power management scripts
(2) for a true fix you need to patch and recompile the breezy kernel, or 
installing a newer kernel

This thread explains how to do both:

I believe the sleep problem on G4 iBooks is also kernel related, but it 
is a different issue.  The steps described in the ubuntuforums thread 
will not fix the problem on G4 iBooks.  There may be a work-around or 
patch to fix the sleep problem on G4's, but if so I don't know it.
