I usually put my 2018 MBP into sleep by closing the lid (without any program open) and next time I only need to open the lid and unlock with fingerprint. However, it recently got an annoying behavior by occasionally shutting down during sleep, forcing me to login with password later.

Here is an excerpt from pmset -g log command:

So, at 3:19 AM the laptop was put to sleep: Entering Sleep state due to 'Clamshell Sleep':TCPKeepAlive=inactive Using Batt

However 3 seconds later there was a wake request from [*proc=powerd request=TCPKATurnOff inDelta=43257]. Also HibernateStats hibmode=0 standbydelay=0.

I really don't know that means. Next time I open the lid at 15:27, this was put in log:

UUID: Unknown UUID
2019-06-11 15:27:22 +0700 Failure               Sleep Failure [code:0xFFFFFFFF0000001F]:

I already disabled Power Nap and Wake for Wifi, tried resetting NVRAM and SMC. Problem still occasionally happen.

Here is pmset -g settings:

The machine is running latest Mojave 10.14.5.


I've got a similar problem. I'll try now if these will help:

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 25
sudo pmset -a standby 0
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0

I try to remember to post the results.
