Sleep Wake failure in EFI

13" Macbook Pro 2012. MacOS Catalina. Running on SSD.

Every time my battery dies while I am using it without having it plugged in, the screen goes black for a few minutes (during which no trackpad touch or keystrokes or power button) work to turn on or restart the computer. After a few minutes, the power button works again and the computer Restarts, prompting for login. Once I am booted up, the windows start re-appearing and I get an error pop-up and subsequent details, that saying:

"Your computer restarted because of a problem"

> More Info (error report) [pasted below]

This has been happening only within the last year. If I recall correctly, having run on various SSDs for about a decade, the computer should be able to go to sleep and wake-up, reloading my system and all its open windows without Rebooting.

Is it typical and expected that Macbook systems running on SSDs will crash as a result of a batter power running out?

If not, how can I get my computer to not crash every time my battery dies? I may well have a bad habit of letting the battery die, but it seems to me there had to be a way for the computer to respond to low battery power not with just a warning, but a sleep mode.
