I constantly run into the slow wake issue. I have resorted to the following procedures to get my external monitor to wake from sleep.
If in clamshell mode, wake external monitor first and then press any key on the keyboard.
If not in clam shell, press any key on keyboard and WAIT for the external to wake before login. I have noticed that entering keystrokes like password on the login screen somehow disrupts the Macs process to detect the external from sleep.
If none of the above work, unplug/plug the usb-c hub. Works 100% of time.
If undocking while in clamshell, open mac lid first and ensure it's displaying, then disconnect the usb hub. If I don't do this, sometimes the on-board monitor will stay black because it still thinks the external monitor is connected. When in this condition, it takes forever for the macbook to figure out the external is no longer connected. Holding the power button and restarting fixes it.
I use a 24" LG 24MK600M with a 2021 MBA M1. It's connected through Ugreen usb-c hub via hdmi.
One workaround that I had explored to fix the external monitor wake issues was to find a terminal command that would unload/load the usb drivers to "reset" the usb ports. From there, I could write it into a script with a hotkey and run it every time the monitor fails to display. I used to run a script to fix my ethernet connected via usb-c that would not be detected on boot for my Linux laptop. The script basically unloaded and loaded the usb drivers, which fixed it every time. Unfortunately, unloading usb drivers on the mac is not easy.
