my computer doesnt go to sleep.
It must stay awake, at all times, awaiting my input.

I hit the "wake on lan" icon on my phone, since my computer is in a different room from my monitor and the usb doesn't work for waking it up directly. But if I could, left ctrl all day!

Esc like 3-5 times (to also prompt the login input) or mouse wiggle
Escape is kinda hardcoded as a safe button in my headspace and spacebar is just fun to press.
I'm a mad man I click different shit every time.
The power button. I've disabled usb-wake because my wireless mouse keeps waking up my computer

I push the power button on the tower.
Space. On my mechanical keyboard it makes a nice thunk. You really know you've pressed it.
I press my whole hand into the keyboard hitting like 20 keys probably

I plop my furry balls menacingly on the keyboard and inevitably hit at least half the keys
i rapidly press as many keys as i can within a 1 second time frame
or i just slam the enter key a few times
I have a BLE keyboard and a BLE trackball, so they lose connection when PC is sleeping. To wake it up I press the power button
I just stare at it loathfully until it wakes up out of shame.
(Or maybe it's my enraged vibrations transferring to the mouse through the table and causing it to move, same difference.)
Left arrow up arrow right arrow. over and over and over again until the computer comes up
Caps lock because it doesn't do anything like enter or other keys might do and if I see the light blink then I know that the computer/keyboard is not frozen.

My desktop pc doesn't wake up from keyboard inputs, so the power button. On my laptop I just open the lid.

I honestly just kind of flop my hand around on the keyboard
My PC dual functions as a server so it never sleeps
Mash low in the corner.
Probably a combo of Ctrl-shift-alt-super-z-x-space
I know, much barbarian.
Backspace
I smash the arrow keys like I’m playing a synthesizer.
