Unexpected restarts

i have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro and have been experiencing multiple and worsening restart issues, usually while in sleep mode. just picked it up from AppleStore tech who found no hardware issues. Catalina 10.15.7 installed/ updates are current


updated w/ SSHD several years back. i am getting the feeling that i've got an overheating issue in play here. Any suggestions?


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
