I have an M1 Mac mini with the original magic mouse and keyboard and when I first wake the computer up the keyboard takes a while to connect before I can type anything and when I get into it the mouse takes like a full minute until it finally connects for me to use it. It's not a huge deal it's just a bit annoying. Anyone have any advice?
Mac mini, macOS 13.2

Troubleshooting a Lagging Keyboard and Mouse Connection:
A. Change the Battery:
There may not be enough power for it to pick it up right off the pat. So, put new batteries in there.
B. Verify Compatibly:
If incompatible, it is not expected operate as desired. So, verify if this is compile with your macOS version. Being Apple it seems it would be, but verify, nonetheless.
C. Try Safe Mode:
In Safe Mode, login items do not run, and corrupt system files(i.e. caches) are intentionally reset as a way to fix issues
D. Remove Login Items:
While in Safe Mode, remove all of your Login Items, and then restart the Mac. Go Here: Change Users & Groups Login Items Preferences on Mac - Apple Support

Sleep is unnecessary on later Macs. Shut for overnights and long absences and use these settings for regular use, should fix:
