Sometimes the computer won't auto-suspend when the lid has been closed. When this happens re-closing the lid won't make it suspend until next reboot. After the reboot the auto-suspend works again. After a while it stops working again, I haven't been able to determine what changes the state from suspendable to unsuspendable.
In the unsuspendable state "sudo pm-suspend" and "sudo systemctl suspend" don't make it stay suspended.
I'm running a Lenovo X220 with Arch 64 bit.
What should I do/try to make it work as it is supposed to?
EDIT:added journalctl output:
journalctl -xn

Mine would suspend but immediately resume. The fix for me was to disable (
