I've had my mini for about two days now and I just sat down to do some work and tried to wake it. I moved my magic mouse, nothing, tapped on my apple keyboard, nothing, touched my track pad, nothing. Checked the front of the mini, the light was on. Starting moving come cables around and the screens came to life. At first both my bluetooth mouse and keyboard were not connected but then eventually they got connected. I hope I am not suffering from the dreaded bluetooth issues I've been reading about.

Anyone else have similar issues waking your M1 Mini?
 
That would be great, just happened again, came back to the computer which was asleep and had to plug in a wired kb and mouse to get in.
 
Same issue here. The Bluetooth issue must be solved ASAP. I have it daily that mouse and/or keyboard stop working. Rebooting several times seems to fix it temporarily. I now have an old wired Apple mouse as back up next to the computer. I don’t have a wired keyboard anymore.
 
I'll get razzed for posting this, but...
Use a WIRED USB keyboard instead.
It just works better.
 
Not sure it is related to BT, I have had a M1 Mini for about 6 weeks now. Usually after an overnight period of sleep the Mini won't wake up but......I can tell it's not BT related on my end at least due to the fact you can hear the audio from the Mini that I'm typing on the keyboard. To me that seems to indicate a video issue. I'm using HDMI out and am finding it best to just turn the Mini off if I'm going to be away more than say 4 hours.

In Energy Saver settings do you have the setting 'put hard disks to sleep when possible' ticked?
If so, try unchecking it and see if your issue goes away.

Did you try to replug the HDMI cable to mini?
 
We noticed that once you connect a wired mouse, the BT mouse seems to work again. But as said before, it can be that only one of the two (mouse, keyboard) stop working. Rebooting sometimes helps.
