Mac Mini2 won't wake up from sleep mode

So My new refurbished Mac Mini 2 won't wake up from sleep mode when I am away from comoute.

This has happened a few months ago and I called Apple. They walked me through a lot. We installed a new update than and it seemed to help... Now a month later its doing the same thing. I did have my keyboard in a block of usb adapter and it was working.. I put it back into the back of mac mini but it still is doing it. I just updated to Sequoia hoping it would help but still had to restart my computer.

Guess I need to call Apple again

Mac mini, macOS 14.6

Sleep is unnecessary on later Macs and should be disabled. Shut for long absences/idle overnights (i.e. do not manual-sleep), and for regular operation, use the settings exactly as shown below (reboot after changes), should fix.

Additionally, avoid manual sleeping your Mac and use the Lock Screen settings to switch the display off on timer:
