Macbook does not wake up properly after several hours of sleep

hibernatemacbook prosleep-wake

When I close my MacBook Pro in the evening, and then open it in the morning, the display is illuminated and the apple is bright but nothing is happening. So I need to push the power button to restart it. When it restarts, Google Chrome crashes and virtualenv is logged out.

I thought that the problem is with hibernation so I set the hibernation to 0 in pmset. My current pmset parameters are as follows:

 standbydelay         10800
 standby              1
 womp                 1
 halfdim              1

 gpuswitch            2

If I close the lid shortly everything is okay. Any ideas on what is going on?

Recommend to evaluate the Sleep mode.

Run pmset -g assertions in terminal and post the output.

Usually you can see there who is acting up and not letting your mac sleep.

The message Kernel Assertions: 0x100=MAGICWAKE id=503 level=255 0x100=MAGICWAKE says it.

Also the ExternalMedia is set to wake it up over your USBbluetooth. connection.

So you have a device (BT keyboard) that does that.

As for why:

You BT track pad wakes up (do you have a Cat?) other BT devices interference, low battery... see this for more.

To test do "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" OFF.

If you have the Magicwake app installed, remove it.
