New m1 macbook won't wake from sleep

Just upgraded to 11.3 and did some smoking test with the original TB cable which caused system deadlock in 11.2. The sleep issue seems gone, the system can even awake with TB SSD disk mounted on desktop. This version looks like much better than 11.2.

I found that I just needed to be patient. Open the lid and wait about 15 seconds for the log ion screen to come up.

Please be aware that MacOS 11.2 has been released, and the software update is recommended to make sure this is not already fixed in the new version.

Try hitting the escape key twice, that has been working for me. Definitely seems like a software issue

Pressing the ESC key twice is working for me. let's hope it will get fixed with coming updates.

11.3 is available. There is now sleepmode support for Macs with M1-chip

I think it might be hardware issue. After I changed the TB3 cable, the system can always wake up now. However the macOS hung once during upgrading to 11.2.3.

Interesting, thanks for replying. For me the system doesn't actually hang, the screen just stays dark but I can see that the screen is working. As like others, pressing escape twice fixes it

I have a similar problem with my MacBook Air 2020. If I use screen saver or put it in sleep mode it won't wake up. Sometimes when I put my finger on the finger ID button the login screen will briefly flash up but then back to a black screen. Only way to wake it is to force a shut down and restart.

After trying all the suggestions listed here, I had to mail in my M1 macbook pro for repair. It arrives back within a few days. When I contacted Apple, they mentioned that they needed to replace the main logic board, so hopefully the issue is now resolved.

I have the wakeup issue too on the latest update big sur 11.2.2.

As long as any usb storage device is plugged in, once the screen gets dark, most of time it won't wake up but instead autoreboot.

Have you tried 11.3?

Not sure. If you take a flashlight when the issue occurs and shine it on your screen, you can see your desktop faintly. So for some reason when you open the lid, the command to turn on the screen brightness to it's previous level is not going through, it just stays really dim.

I have the same issue, I have noticed that this happens mostly if the machine goes to sleep with anything plugged in it causes this.

Was really hoping to get a fix for this. I am running 11.2.3

I am wondering if there is some issue with the Dock I have or something.

Macbook Air M1 - have just updated to 11.4 & the not waking from sleep issue persists. Sometimes double clicking the escape button works, but sometimes it doesn't. Have to shut the lid & re-open it to get the screen to come on.
