Roku remote asleep? How to wake it to turn on my streaming device

My Roku Voice Remote is asleep. Voice command will not turn on my Roku streaming device. How do I wake it back up?

    I FINALLY got my remote to work this morning by doing the following (from my app). Yay! Not sure why it suddenly stopped working but at least it's back.

      • On a Roku player, go to Settings > System > System restart > Restart

    When your Roku device displays the home screen, restart your remote.

    When the screen came back, I tried the scroll buttons and they suddenly worked. I didn't do anything to the remote itself. All the buttons are working again.
