I've always used Ctrl for that. I had my computer for 2 years before I discovered that Ctrl is the "wake from sleep" key, and no other keys would work anyway. (it's a thinkpad)

The power button
Right arrow. Wake on mouse disabled because cats. Right arrow is on the bottom right corner and convenient to hit when pulling the keyboard tray out.
I thump my water bottle down on the desk just hard enough to make my mouse trigger and wake up the PC. By the time I'm sat comfortably it's awaiting a password :]
If there is a pin set, decimal on the numpad, else Ctrl or ESC.
I use a arrow key, usually the arrow to the right
Arrow pressers unite. Down arrow forever
Up arrow is the only logical choice.
I find your choice... Acceptable.
Control. I'm mildly paranoid any other key will actually go through and type/do something.
I just open it.
I don't. I move the mouse.
I was very very very drunk.
Ctrl+Alt+delete for my work computer so I can go straight to password input.
Space for my home computer.
I use numlok mostly. I guess I’m weird!
I also use Ctrl, or I waggle my mouse to wake both it and my PC (it's wireless).
I slap the spacebar, often multiple times if I'm impatient
SPACE bar
Win/Super key
I find that pretty safe.
F3, what else?
Arrow up. Multiple times.
Shift, Escape and mouse wiggle, in that order.
I mash the keyboard. It wakes.
Esc, t, or I move the mouse. Depends on my goal when I'm waking it up.
The first letter of my password.
My PC just never sleeps.
I just change the TV input to PC IN and it's already on.
