Post Body

Around half the time if my M1 Macbook Pro goes to sleep, and I try to wake it, I get a black screen. If you shine a light, you can tell the screen is on: the backlight not turning on. The touchbar and keyboard lights up, but adjusting brightness through touchbar does nothing. If I restart, or close the lid and open it, it works. Hitting escape 2 or 3 times fixes it too.

Any ideas?
