Hi there wonderfree1,

In order to wake your Mac from sleep, this information from Put your Mac to sleep or wake it walks you through the different ways this can be done:

Wake your Mac from sleep

To wake your Mac, do any of the following:

* Press a key on the keyboard, or click the mouse or trackpad.

* On a Mac laptop, open the display.

For security, you can set an option to require a password after waking your Mac. You may be able to unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch or use Touch ID instead of entering your password.

If you're trying to accomplish something else, please provide more details so that we can continue to assist as best we can.

Cheers!
