suspend to swap file failure

I have followed the instructions in the Arch wiki to create a 16G swap file to suspend my system to.
When I attempt to hibernate (enter systemctl hibernate into my terminal), my computer will power off. But when I turn it on again, Arch won't resume from the swap file.
Again, I have followed all the steps in the Arch wiki exactly. My fstab, kernel parameters, and initramfs entries look exactly like the examples in the wiki.

This is an excerpt from journalctl showing the logs from the start of the hibernate process to the reboot.

Mar 10 23:38:47 HelloWorld systemd[1]: Reached target Sleep.

Often the hibernation process will fail completely and my computer won't even power off. This is an excerpt from journalctl showing the messages from when hibernating fails.

Feb 22 12:08:53 HelloWorld systemd[1]: systemd-hibernate.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Feb 22 12:08:53 HelloWorld systemd[1]: systemd-hibernate.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Feb 22 12:08:53 HelloWorld systemd[1]: hibernate.target: Job hibernate.target/start failed with result 'dependency'.

I'm at a loss since there are no clear errors showing.
Thanks in advance for any help.
