The same thing happens when I have 3-4 graphics programs running, three browsers with a dozen tabs each, a virtual machine or two running and switch between programs. Not BBEdit. Not a sleep issue. Not the OS as such, but how memory is used allocated and, yes, swapped in and out. If you run top in a terminal window and expose the top section where you can see the swaps in and out. I'm sure if you read the man file for top, you could figure out how to extract just that information. You'll probably find that your memory is being swapped in and out.
