Hello barrettfromva,

Thank you for following up.

We appreciate the troubleshooting steps you've tried so far. If you continue to experience this, please contact Apple Support for more help with this: Get Support.

Take care.

I am having the same problem with a 13" MBP m1. The screen will not wake up after going to sleep with an auxiliary monitor attached, so now I am operating by using an auxiliary monitor, keyboard and mouse.

It would appear apple has chosen to ignore this thread not take ownership to look into this issue as it has been going on since this product was released and has yet to acknowledge there is an issue. Not bad customer service for $1400.. Good thing there are accessories and phones that keep me coming back for more of this addiction.. Can this be replaced with an intel please?.. I tried but looks like someone in product management wanted an early bonus last year by heavy stock holders.

I have been a Mac person for 20 odds years now and have always had little or no issues however since my recent purchase of the Macbook Pro this Sleep issue has been a problem and am very disappointed that neither Mac no I have resolve it. Close the lid and if its not opened soon It will need to be powered down, turn off an on again and if lucky it will start up and the mouse may or may not connect. ,,,Disappointing.

macOS version 11,3 on my MacBook Air did not fix my problem. Also pressing esc’ key twice does work nor closing email completely. I did notice that if I wake my MacBook Air within a minute of it sleeping it will work intermittently but if it’s been asleep longer than that it don’t work. Keyboard always remains lit but screen black.

Hey all. The new 11.3 update fixed the sleep issue for me for few days. But today all of the sudden it started again. Mac does not got to sleep when I shut the lid. Pretty embarrassing for Apple not fixing such issue for good.

I'm having the same issue with my MacBook Air M1. Just got the device 2 weeks ago and the issue suddenly started. Took it to the Apple Store and they said it was a software issue and wiping my MacBook "fixed" it but no, still the same.

Just updated to Big Sur 11.4 last night and no change.

It a shame for Apple not being able to solve such a major issue for months. The number of "I have this question too" votes has been increasing every day for this discussion. (Also there is another discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252167152) I have been trying to contact Apple Support via phone and chat but no one could solve it. They advice me to wait for a software update but I have been waiting since 11.3.0.

I spoke too soon I just tried to wake up my MacBook Pro by opening it up after approx 4 hours and all I got was my mouse arrow on the screen then need to power down and reboot twice before all was good again. the option to sleep by closing the laptop doesn't always work.

I have the same issue on an Intel MacBook Pro 13'' 2020, tried everything and nothing helped. It drives me nuts, as I never know when/if one day the screen will just remain black for good. I was really happy and get this Mac, but in just a few months after the purchase this issue started happening and it's getting worse and worse with every single day.

Same behaviour, just other HW.

When my Mac Mini M1 2020, Big Sur 11.4 with an Apple Cinema HD Display attached via HDMItoDVI Adapter is in sleep mode for - lets say - a day, I can not get the display up and running anymore - : ((

This is just ridiculous. Apple has known about the issue since January 2021 and they have yet to address it. Various people are complaining... I have several clients that have purchased M1 Macbooks and they are constantly experiencing this issue. Here we are almost 8 months later with no solution. Apple support is clueless when it comes to this issue. What is happening to Apple...

Same problem here with an MacBook Pro M1 bought on Sept 1st 2021. Have to close the lid once or twice for the screen to come on. Mine is an Apple refurb so how did they not see this problem when carrying out the 'extensive testing'?

Irritating at best when using but makes me angry when Apple don't address what is obviously a common problem, particularly when I was on the verge of going PC.

Did any of the earlier posters get any favourable feedback from Apple?

Someone earlier mentioned that under System Information/Graphics/Display/Automatically Adjust Brightness should be labelled 'YES'. Mine is 'NO'. Is that relevant?
