Yes I think I've had pretty bad luck on that front both my current laptop (framework 13) and old laptop (XPS 13) have had sleep issues.

My laptop's battery isn't great, but my real problem is with sleep. the battery for me can drop 20% - 30% overnight and sometimes it just doesn't go to sleep and the laptop is totally dead in the morning.

I've tried some of the optimization on the arch wiki for my laptop but no luck ๐Ÿ˜•

If you have an SSD consider hibernation. It's not that fast but usually much more stable and actually shuts down properly.
