Someone share this with Apple, they have the same bug.

In my experience Apple devices are the only ones that get sleep right.

I don't know, I had my M1 Air reboot once because I had the wild idea to close the lid while it was charging. Usually only one of the two is happening. But a friend that has been around MacBooks for longer told me they do it. Hence my comment.

My experience is that even Apple has its issues. The most reliable laptop I've had is my current Lenovo and Sleep works flawlessly in either Windows or Debian. Even my work HP is fine, Windows does sleep/wake flawlessly every time without fail.

Never seen this in my life across five MacBooks. Was this around 2am and you’d previously asked it to do an update “tonight”?

They used to be better. But all my recent Macs have had some real shitty power management issues. The most annoying thing is when the battery drains fully overnight when it was supposed to be asleep, and then you get the wait 20 minutes before you can even power it up even if you plug in a 120watt charger. There is no excuse to have to wait for the battery to charge before powering up.
