From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Which logs did you look at already?
If you're using journalctl, I think you should have shutdown messages in the log. You might need to filter by the previous boot for them though (https://linuxhandbook.com/journalctl-boot-logs/).
For dmesg, you might have old, rotated logs from previous boots in your /var/logs folder.
I'd expect any logs around power management to end up in one or both of those places.
You could also try manually triggering a suspend or hibernate to see what happens. I remember having a machine that would suspend fine, but if it was suspended too long, it would hibernate. And for some reason it didn't know how to come back up after a hibernate.
