I have had this exact problem on many of my previous Macbooks (2009, 2015, 2019). I'm hoping my newest Apple Silicon one will solve it.

edit: maybe not the specific S3 sleep problem but a general inability to sleep correctly

Is there a specific piece of software or driver you got installed on all of them? I've owned 2 of 3 of your MacBook model years and 'sleep on lid close' was very reliable on all of them. Apple Silicon works even better, resume from sleep is instanteneous instead of taking 1-2 seconds.

A few were work laptops, so they came with the suite of poorly-written corporate spyware agents which I suspect was the culprit.

On my personal laptops the cause could be all the accumulated junk I installed. Apple's refusal to support legacy software may help out since it seems the old software doesn't want to run on new hardware.

AS Macs sleep fantastically. Much snappier to come out of sleep, too.

They still do the trick of presenting a screenshot of what was on screen when you suspended, to make you think the system is fully ready before it is?

If they do, they swap out for the real thing quicker than my hands can go from the lid to the keyboard.

I've never had any issues with entering my password/doing TouchID to unlock the laptop as soon as I've opened the lid.

Same issues on 2015 13" and 2019 pro 16". Having it overheating in my backpack is quite common.

It's solved, perfectly.
