Why does my PC have trouble waking up from sleep mode?

Question

I have a win 10 PC and I keep having to reboot it to get it to wake up from sleep mode. I used to be able to just click any button on my keyboard or click my mouse to get it to wake up, then put my password into log in, but not anymore.

Do you think its a problem with the BIOS or something?

Here is a problem very common to a lot of computer it's not just prevalent in Windows 10 it goes all the way back to Windows XP here's the problem when your computer goes to sleep your hard drive goes to sleep with it when your hard drive goes to sleep to wake it up his near-impossible it's like trying to wake your brain up when it's anesthetized now you can go in to your control panel find power management and either set your computer to never sleep and simply to turn off the display in 10 to 15 minutes or you can go into the advanced settings of power scheme find where it says hard drive and fix it so that the hard drive never goes to sleep or only goes to sleep after 9 or 10 hours of non-use once you do this your computer will no longer have a problem waking up the computer will still stay running but the computer screen will turn off just wiggling the mouse will turn it back on if you fix it so that the hard drive never turns itself off just wiggling the mouse will turn itself on

Not BIOS problem. Also, a PC that has to be booted is not in sleep mode. It has powered off. Start by checking settings options for actions following updates and settings for power saving/sleep mode/etc. Also, setting for backup and restore and for actions such as restore point settings.

I would think the hard drive is nearly full maybe? Or maybe you need to run a cleaner app like CCleaner to get rid of unnecessary stuff that might be slowing down your PC.
