Cannot Wake MacBook Air M2 after Sleep

I have the Mac Air M2 running 14.1.2 and i, too, experience this issue regularly even though it does not happen every time i put it to sleep. this is very frustration especially one of the users said Apple needs to replace something. i prefer not having to take it my machine and leave it there for god knows how long.

is it really a hardware issue or apple can correct with a firmware update?

How did you get Apple to replace the above? Is the issue still fixed? They replaced just the Lid Angle Sensor, and the sleep issue is still occurring. Thanks!

UPDATE: I talked to a support agent and basically they said they'd bring this up with the eng team. However, the issue seems largely related to when I use peripherals (e.g. external monitor) where the peripherals vaguely cause the computer to not be able to sleep/wake properly -- not sure if this scenario is the same for everyone else. So the current, unfortunate, workaround is just to not use peripherals like an external display :/

Yeah -- I had originally though peripherals were the issue, but that didn't turn out to be true. My current workaround (let's see if it works, since I only did this a week ago) is to just prevent my mac from sleeping automatically :/

Seems like a pretty big regression from previous macs...lol

I ended up returning my M2 and getting a used M1 off of eBay for less money with better internals that has had zero issues. This might be a rare issue, however, it has made me weary of purchasing anything brand new or the latest, "greatest" model. I still think that Apple products and MacOS are amazing and of much higher quality and will continue using Apple products as my tools, but this problem made me hit the breaks on being cutting edge.

I am still having this problem. I worked with Apple chat and phone support this morning to no avail. I also experience this issue if the screen goes to sleep (but not the computer) for even one second. I try to get it to turn back on but all I have is a lit keyboard. They had me turn off login items and background apps that I like to use. They want me to create a test user and then use that account until it happens again and then contact them. I get them wanting to narrow it down but I need a functional computer for work and for the amount of money these cost there should be a priority to get this fixed. It gets frustrating when I have to force my computer off several times a week on a computer that is less than a year old. I have a 2012 MacBook Pro that ran many versions of OSX and MacOS until it wasn't supported. It runs Ubuntu now and hasn't had this many problems. I also have a 10-year-old ThinkPad X250 running Windows 10 that has also been perfectly stable. It's getting to the point where I'm about to just suck it up and move away from iCloud. Sorry for the vent, it's just been frustrating this last month.

I got the same issue. I just ended up creating a chat session with Apple support...we'll see what happens! This problem seems similar to Cannot Wake MacBook Air M2 after Sleep - Apple Community

It's unfortunate that out-of-the-box the M2 Macbook Air has this issue -- am curious if it's for a select number of users

Not for me. I have the same issue but it’s worse with no peripherals attached. Today it happened 4 times with the laptop alone.

I encountered the same issue. For me turning off the FileVault then restart seemed to have solved the issue. Not sure why but it worked for me. Maybe worth a try for someone having the same issue.
