Bluetooth Problems with High Sierra

I just wiped and updated my mid-2012 MacBook Pro to High Sierra and I'm having Bluetooth connectivity issues. I have an Apple Bluetooth keyboard and mouse—they connect and work, but when I leave the house and come back, they won't reconnect unless I reboot the machine. I've tried deleting and re-pairing them both, but the problem still persists.

Any other suggestions?

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), macOS High Sierra (10.13.1)

Hello Dustin,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!

I understand from your post that after erasing and then installing High Sierra on your MacBook Pro that your Apple Bluetooth keyboard and mouse do not reconnect unless you restart your Mac. The following article has information about what could be preventing your Apple keyboard and mouse from staying connected such as interference from other objects:
