Laptop keeps shutting down - Error: Sleep Wake failure in EFI

How about starting your Mac in Safe Mode:

Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support (Safe Mode)

The computer will take a fairly long time to boot, possibly 10-15 minutes. You should see "Safe Boot" in red letters after it boots on the screen. The computer may seem a bit sluggish, but this is to test whether the problem is present in safe mode. If the problem is gone, that means something you have installed is causing the problem, as safe mode disables most user installed extensions. If that is the case, I suggest that you download Etrecheck and post the output here using the Additional Text button below. People may see the culprit.

If the problem persists even in Safe Mode, then there may be a hardware issue. For instance, the reason the pmset command sometimes works is that some third party NVMe drives wake up slower from standby than the machine, and so for a split second, the machine thinks there's no drive, and crashes. That's why it happens when the machine sleeps, but generally not on start up. So the pmset parameter prevents that type of deep sleep and the hardware problem never occurs. Your problem could be hardware but a different type of hardware issue. A 2013 laptop may be nearing end of life and some of the electronics may be wearing out. Or it might be related to the SSD you are using. Can you run the Apple hardware test on your Mac, hold down the D key when starting up:

Are you using the original internal drive that came with the laptop? Or are you using a replacement internal drive?

If you are using a replacement (third party non-Apple) drive, the following may help.

Open Terminal and enter this on the command line:

sudo pmset -a standby 0

Report back whether it fixes the issue.

To restore it back to the default

sudo pmset -a standby 1

Hi BramsP,

Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities! Do you have any shut down schedules set up when you go to the Apple menu (  ) > System Preferences > Energy Saver?

You can find some more information about those settings here: Get help with your Mac notebook battery - Apple Support.

If this continues, you may want to reach out to Apple Support for further assistance. Depending on your region, you may be able to reach them here: Get Support.

Take Care!

There are several questionable softwares installed. I suggest that you uninstall them completely, which typically requires an uninstaller from the manufacturer.

ccleaner -- "cleaning" software can damage your Mac by removing things that are needed for the MacOS to function properly.

CleanMyMac -- it is installed but wasn't loaded at the time Etrecheck was run. Like the previous item, this is another "cleaning" app that is famous in the Apple Discussions for the number of computers that have been misconfigured with it. This needs to be completely uninstalled (with an uninstaller).

It is possible that something else is causing the problem. But we know, in Safe Mode, your Mac worked properly. That means with no third party extensions allowed to operate, the Mac did not crash when sleeping or waking up. Removing these two apps first is a good start to try to get back to that stable state.

If you have removed these two items and the Mac still is misbehaving, you could look for other things to uninstall; things that permeate the system would be the most suspect. I think you have Disk Drill (Cleverfiles) and/or other associated utilities. I have Disk Drill installed on several Macs and never had a problem with it, but you could temporarily uninstall it as a test (you can always reinstall). Cleverfiles (Disk Drill) seems to have installed multiple kexts, those Kernel Extensions can cause problems like you are seeing. It could also be that Disk Drill and the Cleverfiles utilities are ok but somehow were conflicting with CleanMyMac or ccleaner when those apps were installed.
