Hey there ggeigernp,
I understand that you are seeing some unexpected behavior from your keyboard when trying to use it to wake your computer from sleep. There is a setting that controls this, and you may want to make sure it is checked:
Wake your computer with Bluetooth devices
You can click your paired Bluetooth mouse or press a key on your paired Bluetooth keyboard to wake your Mac. You might need to press the space bar on the keyboard.
If clicking the mouse or pressing a key doesn't wake the computer, you might need to allow wireless devices to wake up your computer:
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth.
- Click Advanced.
- Select the checkbox next to Allow Bluetooth Devices to wake this computer.

If this does not address the behavior properly, you may need to see the troubleshooting steps in this article as well:
