Can you still switch to a working console/tty? If yes: You might be able to cleanly shut down. And some side note (I'll come to the sleep issue farther down): If your tty's are black as well I recommend - instead of a hard shutdown - to try to enable your sysrq keys: with them enabled you can stop running processes, umount partitions and then often (not always) cleanly shut down - if you didn't do it so far: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/marcelo/linux-2.4/Documentation/sysrq.txt or some html: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.11/admin-guide/sysrq.html My magic key combo (you might have a different one - see docs above): on a tty: 0 Press <alt> and keep holding ... 1 Press <fn>+<print> keys. Keep holding both, then release these two 2 Press some some sysrq key -- release it 3 Only now release <alt> now You can check on a console whether sysrq keys are enabled by pressing 'h' (for help messages) in step 2 .... > Checking Journalctl I see that it appears the laptop went down like it > should have last night.

To learn what's up maybe stop X completely: no gdm, no gdm-x-session, no nothing related stuff (not sure if this works nowadays) and then close your lid, press the sleep button or whatever, and then try to wake up the system. Even better: reboot with X disabled (no idea how to do it) and then same procedure as before: sleep, then wake up ....
