Laptop hangs during night

Hi.
I have a Huawei Matebook X pro 16gb ram.
Running kernel 6.8.9-arch1-2.

I use my laptop during nights when I sleep, and usually when I wake up it has frozen with a blinking led light on the caps lock. I have to hold the power button to shut it down.
Where can I find the logs, are there any? I have never had issues like this running Windows.
How can I resolve this?

Re: Laptop hangs during night

are you leaving the laptop on all night or are you putting it to sleep and trying to wake it in the morn ?
logs can be found under "/var/log" but you will most likely want to check your journal:

in your case you will want to check previous boot:

journalctl -b -1

I have never had issues like this running Windows.

3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

After a kernel panic that you quit with the power button, there're unlikely and traces of that left in any journal, but please still post the journal for a general overview of the system (HW, config)

No you're not. You're sleeping.
What does the system actually do while you're hanging out in dreamland?
