Hello,
It seems that there is some device in your system that constantly wakes up
your computer, causing it not to be idle anymore. This might be your NIC
card or something else. One way of
finding the culprit is by opening up Device Manager > Network Adaptors (well
you have to do this step for every hardware that might cause the computer to
come out of sleep but here I'm just giving an example of the NIC) > Find
your NIC adaptor that you use > Double click on it > Power Management tab >
Uncheck 'allow this device to wake the computer' > Click OK and close device
manager.
Hope this helps.

Rishi
