You might want to check which devices are allowed to bring your computer out
of sleep mode. In particular, check your network adapter and mouse.
To do this, click the Window key + Pause/Break, select Device Manager, then
locate these devices in the device list. For each, right-click and select
Properties, then click the Power Management tab (if there is one), and be
sure that "Allow this device to wake up the computer" is not checked.
