So after the switch to Mac, its bugged for about a year now that you can’t navigate buttons using the keyboard. I hate using the mouse and use it as little as possible. I said to myself, “there has to be some way” and decided to do some google research and finally came across an answer to my question. It turns out that I just needed to turn on an option in the keyboard and mouse section of the system preferences [as seen in the below screenshot].

After making the change and rebooting I was finally able to select sleep with put the mouse:

Notice the blue ring around restart? Now all you need to do is tab once to sleep and then press the spacebar to select. Very helpful.
