additionally it could be something as simple as a wireless mouse.

Sine it only happens when you're logged in, the most likely culprit is some
software you have installed under your user profile; most likely something
that runs on its own. This could be antivirus software, system maintenance
software or, if you are connected to an always on broadband connection, some
software automatically look for updates. This type of activity could
prevent the system from going to sleep and/or prevent the monitor from
shutting shutting off as such things would be detected as the system being
active instead of idle.
