I use my MacBook pro with the lid closed and two monitors. I have an external Mac USB keyboard, too. Before the Catalina upgrade, I was able to wake the computer using the external keyboard. Now, after I put the MacBook into Sleep then reconnect to my monitors & keyboard the keyboard does not work. The monitors work fine and the mouse can be used to wake the Mac. But the keyboard does not work until I perform a restart.
Any thoughts?

I have the same problem using a 2018 MacBook Pro 15 (w/ Catalina). My laptop is docked, and this happens both when the keyboard is connected through a USB hub, or connected directly to the Mac through Apple official HDMI adapter. It's really annoying to have to unplug the MacBook, remove it from the dock and open the lid so it wakes up, and then connect everything again and close it. That's the only way to force it to wake up. It doesn't make any sense that a professional grade machine has such an obvious flaw.
Probably fixed in the latest version.
