Since installing 10.13.2 I have a sleep wake failure on iMac. Was working perfectly before installed latest update on Dec 8.
This is not an uncommon problem but the "fixes/solutions" one reads on the internet are all over the place.
Is there a fix or is this simply something only Apple can solve for all those now plagued by the problem? It is irritating in the extreme.
iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)
I had the same problem on a macbook air (13-inch, Mid 2012, macBookAir5,2) since OSX 10.13.2.
I tried everything proposed on this and on other forums.
Recently, I did 2 things:
1) I downloaded 10.13.4 FULL installer (no combo, the full installer) and reinstalled High Sierra, over the previous installation.
2) I replaced the SSD disk few years ago, I have a OWC Aura Pro 2012 480GB SSD disk. I became aware of a conflict between high sierra and old OWC aura disks. I updated the firmware version to 603ABBF0 (got it from here: OWC Mercury SSD Firmware Updater via USB Drive or CD/DVD Disc). The problem also affects other OWC Aura models (http://macosuninstaller.com/one-click-removal-tutorial/unfortunately-time-owcs-a ura-ssds-not-support-macos-high-sierra/).
Since 1 and 2, the black screen/freeze after sleep, as well as a blinking folder with question mark at boot issue, stopped. I keep my finger crossed. Hope this helps.
Interesting
I did a re install of my os as well and yes I have Microsoft office too

Exact same issue with Mac from 2012.
Tried everything above and I'm still getting Sleep Wake Failure. My Mac will automatically shut down and reboot randomly ever since I installed the High Sierra update.
ditto: same issue, tried everything but nothing worked. Frustrating
Apple corp: HELP!!!!!! this is eating lots of credibility
I read this thread, most of people having this issue have older model. Is there anyone has 2016 also have this issue? I have 2015, but luckily, it doesn't happen to me.
I updated to the High Sierra today (clean install after drive format), after 4-5 hours of using it I got sleep wake error... My mac is 2016 12-inch Macbook.
I am having the very same problem. I decided to re-install the previous IOS version of High Sierra. Hope it will work!
Apple needs to fix this issue, I have two iMac that cannot sleep and get sleep wake failures
Been dealing with them and they just keep telling me to upgrade
They have taken screen shots and debugging but no answer... PLEASE TEST THINGS BEFORE YOU UNLEASH IT ON USERS!!!!!
I see where there is a new release that came out yesterday is x 10.3.3 I think
Has anyone upgraded
Did it solve the problem?
I just installed latest update OS X 13.3 hoping it would solve things but no luck
I had a restart and sleep wake issue error message an hour later
I think most of us have iMacs... it does not not happen on my MacBooks at all
Did a clean install of version 10.13.3 on my iMac late 2012, no other programs installed. The Sleep Wak Failure is still there.
Interesting...I went to my settings to uncheck the box like u did but found it already was unchecked
So not the solution for me....wish it was
What you are experiencing mirrors what is happening w my iMac
Was hoping 13.3 had a fix in it
No word back from Apple support yet
No fun!
