since updating to ios 11.4 my sleep button does not always work

Right after updating my iphone 6 plus to IOS 11.4 I noticed that my sleep button started intermittently not working. Sometimes I have to push the button 3 or 4 times to get the phone to sleep again. After a re-boot it starts working fine but then after a while it goes back to being hit or mis. Anyone else having this problem?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 11.4

This may sound drastic but I think you should make a full backup and then restore to factory settings and set up as new. The reason is that if it is a software issue this could solve it. If the issue persists then it may be a hardware issue. If you make an appointment with the nearest Apple store genius bar they will want you to do that step.
