I might have fixed it with the help of this POST.

I needed to run systemctl enable nvidia-resume.service and reboot.

Now I have as choices in the GDM login screen:
Gnome
Gnome-Classic
Gnome on X11
Gnome-Classic on X11

So I logged into the “Gnome” session, and “Settings:About:System Details” lists the following:

Yes, it says the “Windoing System” is Wayland, but now under:
Graphics: Intel® HD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2)
Graphics 1: NVIDIA GeForce 940MX
Before it used to read:
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 940MX
Graphics 1: NVIDIA GeForce 940MX

So does this mean that my Nvidia card is no longer running 100% of the time like I would desire?
