First thing I do on any computer that I’m using (work, home) is turning sleep and suspend off. When it’s a laptop I disable that closing the lid suspends the laptop. I hate it when I’m moving to a meeting room the thing shuts off. It spins up quickly, but network or whatever is gone, plus gotta unlock it again. Nay.

On other devices, it’s moving the mouse first to see if it’s not the monitor that went in standby, if that doesn’t work I go ham on the spacebar. Finally, the power button if space does nothing, to admit defeat.
