Nexus Player will NOT wake from Sleep!

I am sure this has been discussed on here but I decided to make a new thread anyways. It's nice to get direct support. Anyways....

My Nexus player will not wake from sleep. I watch TV at night before bed. My Nexus Player is currently hooked up to my JVC 32" 1080P TV in my bedroom. So I set the sleep on my TV at night so it shuts off in 60 mins or so. When I wake up the next day, turn my TV on, I get "No Signal". I hit every button on the Nexus player remote. It will not respond. I have to unplug the power and plug it back in to get it to work again. Why will it not wake?

I really liked the Nexus Player at first. I prefer it over my previous streamers, especially being I am going for the new Nexus 5 or 6 upon release this year. I previously used an Apple TV Gen 3. I am bored with Apple and that is why I replaced my Apple TV with the Nexus player and I am replacing my iPhone 6 with a future Nexus device. All done with boring old apple. HaHa.

Any fix to the non-wake issue? What if I just Root it, Unlock the Bootloader, and install CM12? Does CM12.1 for the Nexus Player have the not wake from sleep issue? Thank you for looking!
