My partner’s computer has a similar issue. Based on some reading around
the subject the kernel is crashing, most likely in some driver, while
putting the computer to sleep.

 To further complicate things my Windows 11 laptop doesn't do sleep well if
a WSL instance is running. I've got the feeling it's related to turning
off the display. I may have the wrong terminology but it can hibernate
okay and doesn't take too long to return to an operation state.
 When I first got the laptop I had it boxed up to return to Amazon but
decided to find a workaround if I could.
