Show Menu Bar all the time on MacBook Air M2?

Hello gamorris,

Here are the available options to wake your Mac from sleep: Put your Mac to sleep or wake it - Apple Support

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 notebook computer, 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.

The Touch Bar will sleep when your Mac sleeps too. More information can be found here: Use the Touch Bar on Mac - Apple Support

Thanks for participating in Apple Support Communities.

Take care!
