Windows 10: Awake From Hibernation Mode Using Keyboard Keys or Mouse

So, I just got a new laptop, it seems in my settings, that windows by default will go into hibernate mode after 180 minutes, which is fine, however I am using my laptop as a desktop machine mainly, and it's inside a small compartment, and the only way to wake it is to try and barely open the lid and hit the power button. Is there any way to wake up from hibernation with the keyboard an mouse? Or should I turn hibernation off? (which I hear can ruin battery life). Let me know if you have any solutions, thanks.

Not able to awake PC from Keyboard but can push it to Sleep Mode from Keyboard Special Key

Hi Guys,

I have Logitech MK270 with some Special Keys one of which is PC Sleep Button as shown below, by pressing that Button I can push PC to Sleep Mode but I am not able to awake my PC by pressing any Keyboard button or Mouse clicks, Why so? so to bring PC to working mode from sleep I will have to click start button.





However I can bring back my PC to working state if I click any keyboard button just after I pressed the sleep button after 10 to 15 seconds but not able to do it after 15 minutes of Sleep Mode.

Please advice.

Thanks.
