Wake up from sleep with keyboard not working

I got a new MBP M1 14", and I don't know if this problem is related to the M1, or any of the newer macOS updates. I'm on Monterey 12.6 and this problem has been around since I got the new Mac 2-3 weeks from now.

However, here goes:


All of a sudden my Mac won’t wake from sleep when touching the keyboard. The mouse or trackpad do the trick, but I am used to touch the keyboard and it’s annoying as h*ll that it doesn’t work. Neither the built in keyboard nor the magic keyboard works.


I am quite certain that it worked when I got the MBP – I think I’d have noticed this behavior if it was from the start. But I have also installed software on the new Mac, that may interfere somehow (why that would be so I don’t know).


Any ideas?

I have the same problem on my MacBook Air M1 too. The keyboard does not work after wake up from sleep after 1-2 days. It happens randomly for many times. Often restart solved the problem but it happens again. This problem happen just recently after updated to macOS 12.6.
