screen garbled after waking up by opening cover

On a 13" retina display 2018 MacBook Air, once every 20 or so times, waking up from sleep by opening the cover I find the screen like this. Closing and opening the cover 3-4 times usually restores the screen to its correct state.

MacBook Air (2018 or later)
