Sure, no big deal.

Actually I don't know that they're unneeded since there might be some concern with e-ink burn-in, but I've never heard that there is so my guess is it's purely ornamental.
What I think would be ideal would be to simply leave the text on the screen, as it was when the device went to sleep. Perhaps the word "Sleeping" could appear unobtrusively in the bottom margin. Then when I'm ready to read I can just pick up the device and begin reading as it turns on. The word "Sleeping" could go away to let me know it was on.
As clever as the design of ereaders is I think some "features" aren't at all well thought out and this is one of them.

I don't see the problem. It is equivalent to a single page turn, and I am sure you already waste one or two of those.
That being said, it is one mode of the Kindle ss_hack. I think some people just like the aesthetics of it.
