I find sleep is still a bit quirky on Linux. Every once an a while it’ll get stuck in sleep mode and I can’t bring it back to life - forcing a hard reset via pulling the power.
So I just shut it down. I wouldn’t have an issue just always shutting down, but ddr5 memory training is annoying and I wish it didn’t behave so slow on startup.
I was experiencing a similar issue, and I may have fixed it by expanding my swapfile from 2GB to 16GB. I usually start having wake issues every 2-3 days, but I'm officially on my first full week without any issues since expanding my swapfile.
I found that with external monitor, sometimes the monitor sleep seems to not let OS wake up fully because of no display. I solved it with kdeconnect. If system doesn't wake properly then running the "display on"command or " logout" command from phone revived it.
