A wireless mouse usually is battery powered, with an on/off switch.

Try always turning the power switch to off, when not in use (also, 
prolongs the battery life), and find whether that solves the problem.

It should be an easy enough addition to the routine - to suspend the 
laptop,
1. Close the lid (or, press the F<n> button that also does it, from memory)
2. Turn off power to any wireless input devices (such as keyboard and 
mouse) that have power switches.

Easy.
