Recently, when I open my macbook lip and try to get it out of "sleep", my macbook never seems to want to get out of sleep. Instead of seeing the usual insert your username and password prompt, all I see is regular beach ball... Even when I press the power button or any key, the computer does not seem to respond. I always have to manually shut the computer down in these instances. Why does this happen, and what can I do to stop this?

Click to expand...

“Put the hard disk to sleep when possible” under the Energy Saver System Preferences. I did this for both battery and power adapter settings

Disable Deep Sleep mode using the Terminal

Recover the hard disk space that deep sleep uses.

You should be good to go.
