Reinstalling the macOS:

Go Here: How to Reinstall macOS from macOS Recovery - Apple Support

I see: "Event: Sleep Wake Failure" So, reinstall the macOS. It seems the macOS has become corrupted somehow.

Important: First, Back Up your Mac:

Create a Time Machine backup of your Mac, so that you can have something to restore your Mac from, should anything go wrong with the reinstall. Take this as a learning experience, knowing to always create a backup of your Mac, prior to making any major changes to it (i.e. update installation)

Resetting the SMC:

Let us know how the SMC reset works out, if you follow through with it. Note that it may take up to 3 tries to successfully reset it. So, be certain that you have the time to do so.

so ive come to notice that it only crashes while its connected to my monitors. I already tried multiple SMC reset both ways its said to do for T2 chip macbooks and even tried while connected to the monitors incase that would help but no it still crashes. So idk, this has something to do with monitors and Big Sur update as this didnt happen before.

Try two different monitors. Also, a create new Administrator user, and see iff you get this error.

It happened aswell on new Administrator user, I noticed on new user that it had my programs on it will deleting it mess with anything on my main user?


Also I do get text on the crash report sometimes and it shows this:

It seems like reinstalling MacOS fixed it (will update if otherwise) But my god its nowhere near as bad as you think reinstalling OS,its easy to do and not too time consuming. Everyone that recommends reinstalling OS should include that it doesnt mess with any of your files but that they should have a backup either way. I almost didnt bother reinstalling MacOS because I used to think it would delete everything.
