Macbook Sleep Wake failure in EFI (Failure code:: 0xffffffff 0x0000001f)

I solved my issue by disabling time machine and disconnecting the external hard disk I was using for time machine

not a good solution as I am now running without any backup but at least the problem stopped

It's related to an issue with SSDs and Catalina - downgrade to Mojave or wait for a fix are your only options.

disabling FileVault seems to have resolved this issue for me. Im using the default power settings.

This worked for me:

Many people suggested USB devices caused the issue, but i was using none.

Based on this I turned of Bluetooth to disconnect from devices..... the error is no longer happening.

I set the hibernation to "0" and that stopped it. Of course, it means your Mac won't hibernate and that makes the battery drain faster. High time Apple techs fix this. Note: not happening to my new MBP 13" (2020), only with my MBP 15" (2014)

Every release of Catalina has come with a new set of firmware...every minor release. This also is a problem because it means trying out the dot release on a separate SSD now also updates your MAC firmware meaning that you install on the internal SSD will now inherit new firmware and any bugs that came with it. YOu could try and see if your machne is up to date with firmware and that it updated correctly. Apparently failure to update the firmware does not stop the OS upgrade so you can get upgraded but be running wrong firmware. Apple stopped allowing you to upgrade firmware separately outside the OS upgrade but also does not publish what is the correct firmware. You could try some thing like below to check your firmware versions.

Personally I've ceased doing any upgrades at all due to the problems with external monitors with Catalina between, resolution, HDR and incorrect resolutions etc. I've not tried the above program but at least it may tell you if its worth while reinstalling the OS again as that is the only way to update the firmware.

Same issue on my daughter's older Macbook Pro retina 13-inch 11,1 Late 2013.

She was running Mojave and had a nearly full 120 GB Hard-drive. She was having performance issues because of the full drive. The described restarting behavior did not exist at that time.

I replaced the HD with a new 480 GB Internal SSD (from OtherWorld Computing) and migrated the files with time machine. I also installed TechTool and Norton 360.

Unattended restarts began after that--usually in the middle of the night or early morning with the laptop closed but sleeping.

I first did a scan with Techtool and found a single voltage issue that I believe is traceable to a third party power adapter--which I am replacing (not yet arrived). This problem pre-existed the restarting issue as it was detected on a tech tool scan months ago. Not likely the cause of this new behavior.

I found no other issues with TechTool. I cleared the pRAM. It did not fix the restarts. I upgraded the software to Catalina from Mojave. It did not fix the restarts. I recleared the pRAM. No improvement.

My next steps are to open the laptop and recheck the HD connections. If that does not fix the issue, I will uninstall Norton and Techtool to see what happens. I will also check if a new power supply helps, but she has had the current non-apple power supply for months but only experienced restarts since the HD update.

The most likely culprit is the new HD. The problem existed before and after Catalina, so I can't blame it on the Catalina OS. There are no attached peripherals. The machine was not plugged in during the restarts. I am attaching the crash error log below in case it's helpful to someone.

Please post solutions and I will post updates as I experiment further.

Any help appreciated

I seemed to have found a solution, although just a temporary fix for my machine via terminal. So far so good. If it happens again, I will let you know.

sudo pmset -a standby 0 

I had this issue and had apple replace my logic board and GPU and the issue is resolved.

Hi, my mbpro 2019 was fixed in the apple service, changing the motherboard completely.

so.. I think this works for sure on all cases.

I noticed that my problem stopped when I disconnected my time machine hard disk!!

Not sure if this is by luck or the actual cause, its worth a try if you have a time machine hard disk

I have the same problem on my MacBook Pro non-retina 13" 2012 with SSD (Samsung, replaced it myself) and new battery.

As suggested on Reddit, a workaround is the following:

sudo pmset -a standby 0

But this is not a fix as the Mac will not really "sleep" anymore and battery drains faster. It just prevents the random shutdowns/reboots.

Apple has to fix this, my MacBook is hardly usable like that!

Having the same problem (mid 2012 MBP running Catalina). Battery will drain like crazy. Seems like it never really "goes to sleep". If the battery is below 40% this is almost a guarantee. When it starts back up I get a double startup. Screen will flash then reboot a second time. Really annoying. Just installed a brand new battery to try to fix the problem but no fix. Here is my screenshot.

Same for me. We have the same MacBook and the same error message. And just like you I replaced my battery a few weeks ago, too!
