Anything before these entries? In my case I see

авг 06 08:41:18 bor-Latitude-E5450 systemd-logind[1300]: Lid closed.
авг 06 08:41:18 bor-Latitude-E5450 systemd-logind[1300]: Suspending...
авг 06 08:41:18 bor-Latitude-E5450 kernel: Lockdown: systemd-logind:
hibernation is restricted;
 see man kernel_lockdown.7
авг 06 08:41:18 bor-Latitude-E5450 NetworkManager[1277]: <info>
[1628228478.4162] manager: sle
ep: sleep requested (sleeping: no  enabled: yes)
...

So here I see the reason for suspend in logs.
