Sleep management issues with scaled resolution on external monitor

[larabr]

When I select a HiDPI scaled resolution on the external monitor and use the Macbook in clamshell mode, if the Macbook goes to sleep then to wake it up I always need to open the lid. This is not necessary when using one of the native screen resolutions.

I've had this issue both in Mojave and Catalina, but not in High Sierra.

Is there any solution for this?
