My Touch started acting a little differently...

I normally just slide the switch at the top to put it to sleep. The sleep screen comes up after several seconds. When I pick it up later, the sleep screen is still showing. I slide the switch at the top, and I'm back on the page I was reading. Perfect. It worked like this since I purchased it in Dec 2011.

Starting yesterday, I slide the switch, it goes to sleep. Later, the screen says "POWER OFF" in a black banner at the top. I slide the switch, and it starts up, taking a little while (going through the screen with the squares). It then goes to the home screen.

I want the previous behavior: never going to power off. I like the instant on. I wake it up several times a day, and I don't want the booting delay.

I was fooling around with the power options yesterday. My Power options are Sleep: 15 minutes, Power: 1 Hour. I've also tried 5 and 10.

I'm on 2.1.1 (I've had for about a week), and I have a Special Offers unit.

Any suggestions (other then a factory reset)?

Also, how are the power options supposed to work? Is sliding the switch quickly (to put it sleep) supposed to prevent the power off time out?

Thanks.
