2020 MacBook Pro M1 wake from sleep issue

Just bought a new M1 MacBook Pro 13" and when I close the lid and have it sleep for a while, upon opening the lid the screen does not come on. I have to close the lid and then open it again for the screen to turn on, does anyone else have this issue? I have messed with all the display options, restarted the laptop, etc, but no luck. Also running the latest Big Sur update.


When I put it to sleep and immediately open the lid again the wake up works fine, it's only when the computer is asleep for a longer period is when I have this issue.

For me, if you use a flash light you can see the screen is on, just no backlight. Not sure if this is the same issue as everyone else or not

I found a possible workaround. On my M1 MacBook Air, I set a Hot Corner to start a screen saver. If I open the lid and the backlight is off, I mouse into the corner which starts the screen saver. When I move the cursor from the corner or press a key the back light comes on.

I've to have experienced this issue on several Big Sur versions, including the latest v11.5.1. When my MBP awakes all indications are that she's alive except I have a snow screen with the spinning wheel of death. Nothing recovers until a hard reboot. From similar comments the issue appears to only effect various versions of Big Sur on several hardware types. My MBP is late 2013 with a 2.3 GHZ Quad Intel Core i7. After all these years, this is the first real issue I've experienced. Perhaps Apple hasn't responded is that they too can't seem to wake up. Hello, Tim??
