mac wont wake from sleep after Catalina upgrade
Upgraded to Catalina several hours ago. iMac has gone to "sleep" 4 times and each time failed to "wake". Had to do "hard reboot". Anyone else?

I contacted J5 create customer service and they said they had a work around until new driver is updated:
It worked for me:

Hello Debbie
Before installing the latest driver software, it will require that we uninstall any currently installed j5create device driver first.
Please uninstall the driver software for the j5create USB adapter by doing the following:
1. Click on the desktop background
2. In the upper left-corner of the display, locate and select "Go" then select "Computer".
3. Select "Macintosh HD".
4. Select "Library".
5. Select "Extensions".
6. Find the following: "AX88179_178a", "MCT_trigger2.kext", "Trigger5Core.kext", "DJTVirtualDisplayDriver", "MCTTrigger6USB" and/or "MCTTriggerGraphics.plugin.
7. If any of these files exist, drag each of them to the trashcan.
After completing the uninstall process, proceed with the following:
Immediately after installing the device driver, please do the following:
Finally, after the computer has fully rebooted, plug the display adapter into a USB port directly on the computer, then connect the video cable into the video OUT port on the j5create adapter and into the video IN port on the display. Power on the display and ensure that the display is on the correct input mode, i.e. on VGA, HDMI, DVI. From here, on the connected display, you should see the desktop background and the display should now be ready to use.
However, if the display does not activate after everything has been connected, I recommend that you do the following:
Please be aware, If you are running the official release of macOS 10.15, we do not guarantee that this driver will allow for optimal functionality of j5create USB display adapter on your system. However, the driver being provided has been tested with the official macOS 10.15 Catalina release and we can confirm that the driver should allow for moderate functionality of the j5create device on macOS 10.15. Depending on your system specifications, you may experience general bugs. General bugs/glitches are to be expected with the beta driver, however we welcome all feedback!
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns regarding to this matter!

Nothin has worked for me. this is ridiculous!
I tried and didn't work. My Mac with Catalina doesn't wake up every time it goes for sleep after closing the lid.
To be honest this is the most bugged MacOS Apple has released in a long time.
I tried this as well, and still have the same issue.
It's happened again, so can no longer recommend the OnyX tool to solve this issue.
I am having this same issue. Called support spent 2 hours on the phone and still continues to do the same! It's very annoying and I need it fixed NOW!!! Or can I just revert back to Mojave?
I have had this problem on my 2018 Macbook Air since Mojave. So frustrating. Nothing works.
Yes me too, this makes me insane. After reboot, all my current files i was working on are labeled 'recovered'. What a mess!
With 10.15.1 i get the same exactly problem. Nothing change.
