I'm sure you've searched the Internet at this point, but yes, this is a very common problem which affects some users. I've seen it on Ubuntu, openSUSE, Arch, and the rest of the major distributions with a variety of different wireless cards.
Usually, the answers I see floating around the Internet are pretty hacked together, using pm-utils, etc. to have systemd restart NetworkManager. The reason for this is because the problem can occur for a multitude of reasons.
A few suggestions I can recommend are to try a later version of wpa_supplicant and ensuring that the kernel module for your wireless card is unloaded before sleep/suspend (see SUSPEND_MODULES for pm-utils).
Every time a bug report for this issue is closed, I find someone opens it again saying the problem isn't fixed. I've had this happen on an up-to-date install of Arch as of a month ago.
Thank you, very insightful. Restarting NetworkManager however doesn't solve my vpn problem :S. Maybe I'm mistaken. I seem to be needing to get to the root shell again once more each time, and run all these commands by myself. It is so tiresome. I wish it worked like it should. No regular user could ever troubleshoot such a thing by himself or herself. I just wish it plain worked... In Windows from what I've experienced if your wifi fails, you know it is a problem with the wifi. In Linux, it is probably the software bugging out. I may need to check whether my tunnel(s) are correctly closed when I shut down the wifi. And restarted. Restarting NM at least causes the wifi to connect again. I get so sick of this...
