bluetoothkeyboardmacbook prosleep-waketerminal

This problem happens to me every now and then and I still couldn't find a solution yet.

Here's the console log for this night (when it happened), when running the command

(it goes on and on until 13:00 where I've finally woken up my MacBook)

Here are the things that are hooked up on the Mac while sleeping:

  • LMP USB C Mini Dock (where I've hooked up a Fiio Q1 DAC/Amp)
  • external monitor
  • power cable

I am also using a bluetooth mac keyboard and a logitech bluetooth MX Anywhere mouse.

Best Answer

Check all usb c ports. I had one broken and when I fixed it the problem was solved.
