MacBook Pro 2020 won't wake up after closing the lid

My MacBook Pro 2020 running on Ventura 13.2.1 won't wake up after I put it on sleep by closing the lid. When I reopen the lid I can see the lights on my Keyboard but the screen won't wake up. Please help if anyone has a solution.

Thanks


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.2

Of course, you would have tried tapping the keys, so am wondering if there was any error message.


This archived article has some suggestions you might want to check:

If your MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) won't wake from sleep - Apple Support


First, check for these possibilities:

✽. Your display brightness might be turned down.

✽. If you're using an external display, your display might be turned off. 

✽. Your Mac might be in Safe Sleep. To wake from Safe Sleep, connect your Mac to its power adapter and press the power button.

✽. Make sure that your Mac isn't turned off.
