MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 - Monterey 12.1 Fails to wake from sleep

I upgraded to 12.1 last week and since then if I leave it to go to sleep by closing it then pick it up more than a few hours later the battery is flat and it will not come out of sleep. I can take 15 minutes of messing around re-starting it, clearing the NVRAM etc


This has only happened since the upgrade and the computer was working fine until I did the upgrade. It is about 18 months old.


If I just close the lid and return a few minutes later it is ok.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15
