Macbook Air M1 very slow to wake

Ever since updating the OS my MacBook Air M1 is very slow to wake up. I tried disabling Filevault, etc. but it didn't help. What should I do?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.4

Startup in Safe mode. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201262

To leave Safe Mode, choose “Restart” at the bottom.

     Safe mode prevents your Mac from loading certain software when it starts up, including login items, 

     system extensions not required by macOS,

     and fonts not installed by macOS. It  also does a basic check of your startup disk, 

     similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility

     And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache, 

     which will be created again automatically as needed.
