Windows 10: very slow restore from sleep

Windows 10 home 1903. I'm bringing this old Toshiba laptop back into use. It is a Toshiba satellite laptop with 3rd generation I7 cpu and 8 GB ram. Yet when I open the lid to awaken it from "sleep" it takes 18 seconds (!) for the login screen to appear. An even older laptop with Windows 7 is almost instantaneous in comparison. Booting up is a real time waster. What can I do to speed up the laptop merely wakening from sleep? Thanks.

2. Run Macrium, click on Restore tab then select the Backup Image that you made to restore
