Mac mini 2018 does not wake up

Mac mini 2018 with latest Mojave does not wake up from sleep.

The only way to keep it running is to power it down and restart.

If I disable the sleep function, it runs just fine.

I ran the hardware test and also the Etre software test. Nothing wrong there.

Any solution maybe? Thanks!

Mac mini, macOS 10.14

The Mac mini does wake from sleep, the problem is (as discussed in the monitor issue threads - see eg https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250035101) that it does not restore any video signal to the monitor. Disconnecting the video cable from the monitor and replugging it does bring the monitor back to life.
