Prevent screen from waking

[Rick Walter]

How do I keep my phone from waking with the home button haptic invisible button thing at the bottom of the screen?

I can hardly pick up my phone and carry it in my hand without something waking it and then pushing apps, moving apps on my home screen, etc because I didn't realize it had woken up.

I want it to turn on only when I push the power button.

Are you on Pie? You can either turn off this invisible hardware home button or you can change the amount of pressure it requires to register. Settings - > Display - > Navigation Bar - >...
FYI, if you're using Always On display, the simple double tap on virtual home button also wakes the screen.
