Kernal panic on wake up after overnight sleep

Every morning my Mac Pro (Late 2013) won't wake up. When I press the power button, the system reboots and tells me that the "computer was restarted because of a problem". It does not have this problem if I'm away from the computer for only a few hours; it only shows up after the Mac has been in sleep mode for 8 hours or more (e.g. overnight). I have reinstalled Mojave 10.14.6 (18G5033) and the problem persists.


Looking for input on how to fix this.


Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.

Tis the Spring of Norton - there have been more Norton caused kernel panics in the past 2 months than from any other source

com.symantec.ips.kext	9.0.2
com.symantec.nfm.kext	9.0.1
com.symantec.internetSecurity.kext	9.0.3
com.symantec.SymXIPS	9.0.1


Uninstall Norton using the vendors uninstall instructions.


DO NOT re-install Norton.


Do not replace Norton with someone else's waste of disk space and electricity anti-virus package.

If you just cannot sleep at night depending on Apple to protect you, then MalwareBytes. The free, run it manually version.


MalwareBytes run manually is all you need, as there are no self-propagating viruses attacking the Mac. All malware and adware requires you to be tricked into installing it.


Trick are scareware web browser popups. Phone calls saying they are from Apple. Downloading software from an aggregate download web site, and they wrap the free software in their own installer, and then do a side-load of adware which they get paid to do. A developer that makes money side-loading adware with the app they wrote. Going to a questionable website to get something you should pay for, but it is offered for free (often these sites side-load malware to steal from your system).


If you do not get tricked, follow the instructions in the Effective defenses link, you should be more that safe.
