Airdrop not working after MackBook sleep

Hello everyone. I have a MacBook Pro Early 2015 running Monterey, and I also have an iPad and an iPhone. I use Airdrop all the time to share stuff between my devices, and it usually works really well.

But in my MacBook, when I close the cover to put it to sleep and then open it again later, Airdrop stops working on this device.

I've tried disabling/enabling WiFi and bluetooth in both my MacBook and the other device I'm trying to use Airdrop (the iPad or the iPhone, I've tried both), but the only thing that works is to restart the MacBook, which it's a bit annoying because there's no sense in putting the MacBook to sleep only to open it again and having to restart it so Airdrop can work again.

Do you have any advice for this? Thanks in advance..

old issue, new issue, what changed...(?)

Airdrop has always been a bit finicky...
