My M1 often wakes from sleep only to beachball and 20hz-screen-refresh for 120-150 seconds. I think it's a thing with the memory-management. I have to restart the machine to fix it or it will happen every time I close the lid.

Oh, and the machine forgets its audio settings when this happens, too. Always tries to revert to built-in speakers while it's closed despite having a CalTech hub with speakers I've selected dozens of times.

I don't understand why laptops continue to have such weird power-management problems. I thought we fixed this stuff ages ago.
