i cant find any of these refind.config files.
really?^^
if not present, create the needed config files, and how to do is in the wiki article explained 
edit:
you don’t need refind because it is also possible to use efibootmgr as stand alone
that didn’t work. I’m just over it. but thanks anyway
have you adopted the command for your specific needs? if not, it will never work^^
it isn’t solved, so please don’t mark it as solved, because when anyone find this thread he or she will think it is solved and waste time

I never had that problem weird change power settings take it out of sleep
Hibernation (save to disk) and sleep (save in memory) is not the same thing.
I do not use hibernation, only sleep so I don’t know if it works for me or not.
But I do know from reading what others have stated all over the internet, “hibernation can be tricky on linux”.
If hibernation is not a complete requirement (computer will completely loose power while in sleep for example, and I mean completely run out of power, a laptop battery will keep it “alive” in memory), I suggest changing to use sleep instead.
all of your instruction up this point have be super vague. In the Arch wiki is just as bad. No clear instruction on what to do. Just links that send me into a bigger rabbit hole. While I do love the help you have given me. I’ve wasted 3+ days off and on trying to figure this out. On top of that nobody else who has been in this thread hasn’t given any insight into this. Outside of this one problem I really do like CachyOS. I’ve had to go back to windows 11 and just use Ubuntu 24.04 they have hibernate. Like I said thank you for the help. I have to move on.
I feel you buddy… Welcome to arch, or good bye I guess…
The reason is there ARE a few moving parts involving this.
Yes, you have to involve your boot loader, because it is involved in the wake up.
Yes, it might seem daunting and confusing reading the arch wiki. (it assumes you know a bunch of stuff, or is willing to read up on all the stuff, but the wiki is actually amazing if you just gets above the entry threshold)
Yes, the hardware in your system actually matters.
Etc.
I mostly skimmed the entire thread, but in your OP, you only state wayland, not what actual de you use, like kde or gnome.
So not sure if this has been mentioned.
For kde f.ex, you can do ALL of this from your GUI, by going into settings > Power Management (at the bottom in the system section) and just set it all to ONLY use sleep, or disable it all completely without having to do any of the “complicated” things.
The problem is hibernation, sleep will probably “just work”.
Sorry you had a bad experience… 
Sorry been busy, well I went back to windows, I might install it on another drive for now. I was in the gnome desktop hibernation is not a option. On KDE the system goes into suspend by default but still doesn’t wake up. May my setup? Who knows. I just read another thread that it might be a kernel issues. Either way my system freezing just in sleep or suspend is crazy.
Hibernation needs to be setup by hand, its not officially supported in pretty much any distro. You will need to have swap partition (generally) etc.
Sleep is also very problematic sometimes on Linux and depends a lot on your hardware. It can just break between kernel versions / nvidia drivers etc.
I figured.
Testing a reference kernel is pretty much the first thing you should try.
