So after hours of tinkering with my oneplus one knowing full well my display was NOT going bad and reading many threads on this forum about it, i figured out how to fix the screen wake issue. if your screen wont wake up with power button or double-tap, do the following..

1. Settings
2. Display & Lights
3. UNCHECK “prevent accidental wake-up”
4. Profit

This is caused from flashing a lollipop ROM then going back to kitkat. To fix the issue permanently so you can use the “prevent accidental wake-up feature, flash the CM11s 44s modem. Special thanks to thebadfish666 for pointing out the fix.
