Harmless Freezing not being a real thing is a huge barrier to real-life cryogenic suspension. This is sometimes depicted by having recently thawed characters with systemic injuries similar to Resurrection Sickness, ranging from "character has a cold"* pun not intended but welcome to "character is a puddle." If they outright die during their time in the deep freeze, it's Cryonics Failure.

Alien:
This is a universal constant in the franchise. It's so ingrained that any individual averting this trope means one of two things: they're either a very humanlike android, or they're badasses. The former is used for Christopher Samuels in Alien: Isolation, and the latter is used for Meredith Vickers in Prometheus and Jenette Vasquez in Aliens.
In Prometheus (set more than half a century before the first Alien movie), the stasis pods aboard the titular spaceship render the crew highly nauseated when they've only just awoken from a meagre two-year stasis.
In Aliens, Ripley spends several weeks in the hospital for her 50-ish years in hypersleep. The novelization states that after 60 years, revival becomes impossible due to all the internal injuries from the freezing process. Later on, the marines, aside from Vasquez, are all shown suffering a much less extreme form of sickness, mostly being very tired and groggy.

Cowboy Bebop: Faye was cryo-frozen to save her life after a shuttle accident. Once she was healed and awoke in the future, a side effect had her lose her memory of who she was and what happened.

In The Mysterious Cities of Gold, the Olmecs preserved themselves for thousands of years through cryonic hibernation, but in the fourth and final season, one of them explains that this prolonged stasis caused them to mutate into alien-esque beings, with pale and rotting skin.

In The Road to Shalka, Dr. Branik is introduced while seriously addled by it, to the point Alison thinks he's the Doctor with a regeneration sickness (they got separated and she has valid reasons to think something bad happened to him). This might be because Branik's been in stasis for much longer than intended.
