Key fob won't work at first, car has sleep mode?

When I first come out in the morning and use my key fob, none of the buttons respond/work. Trunk, remote-start, lock/unlock...

I have to take out the key, open the door, sets off the alarm, start the car, then the key fob works again no problems and from far away.

Brand new battery in key fob.

Seems like the car goes into sleep mode and doesn't respond the to fob until it's 'woken up'

Is this by design? or is there a trick to it?

Thanks,
Jon
