Looking at all of the comments and with nothing added for over 10 years
I'm closing this now with a status of 'Opinion'. No doubt Ubuntu and its
various flavours will follow upstream design decisions.

Title:
  Rename "Suspend" to "Sleep"

Bug description:
  In the Power Menu, "Suspend" should be renamed to "Sleep" because
  sleep falls on a continuum with hibernation/"Hibernate", and "sleep"
  is a more intuitive term for new users (you can verify this by asking
  ten people who have not used Ubuntu what it means to "suspend" a
  computer, then ask another ten people who have not used Ubuntu what it
  means to "sleep" a computer).

  ---------

  Specifically in Power Management Preferences, both words "sleep" and
  "suspend" are used and mean the same thing. Under Actions is "Put
  computer to sleep when inactive for:" while the drop-down selection
  boxes have "Suspend" as an option.
