I also have this problem, which has been bugging me also in the pre-alpha releases of 18.04. It happens occasionally to me on a Thinkpad E580, and was expecting hardware-like resume problems, or issues with light-locker.
I noticed that connecting an external display worked for the external display, so the desktop was running properly. Trying to revive my laptop display using xrandr gave me an error: "Configure CRTC 0 failed".
