There's Apple's user guide: http://help.apple.com/ipad/10/

You can also get it in iBooks Store, for free.

There's no gesture to wake up your iPad. If you use a case with a smart cover, it will wake up your device when you lift the cover. You can also press the Power button to get this done.

If you let us know why you need to wake the iPad with a gesture instead of the Power button, someone might know of third solution that will meet your needs. Maybe something in the Accesibilty features.

This would require continuous power being fed to the screen to keep the touchscreen turned on. That's bound to be major battery drain. This is why the screen shuts off and is non-responsive when the iPad is asleep. Also, you could likely press the home button to wake the iPad in less time than using an onscreen gesture would take.
