Are you using wireless? If not, disregard everything below 🙂

If so, do you give the computer a moment to connect to the wireless access point before trying to use Safari? When the computer goes to sleep, it shuts down all services, including wireless. When it wakes up, it might take a second for the computer to find the signal, log on, and then be ready for network use. The icon in the menubar will show when the signal is ready.
