Just checking to make sure you've received your serial number by now and I wanted to apologize for our automated serial number generator system failing. We're still working to bring it back online :(

I love the concept of SwiftUI and I truly believe it to be the future, just disappointed with the macOS execution. I really wish that someone else was in charge of the software at Apple, someone who cares about the details.

Another way might be to add some padding to the OK button, pushing the spacing between the two.

AFAIK there isn't a way to adjust the spacing between toolbar items, you might be able to get it to 20 by adding a fixed width Spacer(), but then as the placement is handled by SwiftUI, the spacer may not show up between the two buttons either.

I would advise testing disable Wi-Fi option to see if it does help reduce insomnia, and I would recommend trying "Delay Background Tasks by decades".
If the sleep quality improves, you know you've found a solution. Then decide which is more important for you.

Huh... I'll take another run at it. In the meantime, you can manually resize the window so you can see all the contents, just grab the bottom of the window and drag it down.
Which version of the macOS are you running? Which MacBook?

Sorry about that bug, it was weird because it didn't show for everyone, but I've fixed it with one of the beta releases to which you can download from the following URL.

The screenshot of the sleep history, suggests that at least some of the wakes are caused by the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth controller. I see you have Bluetooth set to sleep, have you tried disabling both Wi-Fi during sleep and disabling Keep Network connections alive?
