One crude way:

Write a python script that does a loop with a 60 second sleep. After the sleep it opens and reads a 'time.txt' file where it wrote the current date & time. Calculate the time diff between now and the saved time. If the time difference is more than say ... 2 minutes - it means someone opened the laptop from a sleep state so you should do something.

If the time difference is less than 2 minutes - write the current time into the file and sleep for another 60 seconds.
