Closed MacBook Pro goes dead

When I close my MacBook Pro it goes immediately black and will not restart without step #3 in Apple's help, " press adn hold the power button on your Mac for 10 seconds, then press it again." At that point I can sign in. But the problem repeats itself. I ran a utility disk first aid and all reported ok. However, I noticed that the disks look different and are different than my MacBook Air. Any help of ideas would be appreciated.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

Also, when running the utility Disk repair first aid, the internal information seems different than I remember. The first listing Apple SSD APO256M Media is very unfamiliar to me followed by Container Disk, which is also unfamiliar.


The drive structure sound normal for Catalina
