computer suffers from insomnia

[Dave Davison]

When I put my compter to SLEEP, without any command it soon reboots -awakens- , what might be causing this and how can I rectify this irritating reaction? Dave.

Thanks Hans, having just recently bought a wireless mouse that could well be the cause so I've unticked the box as directed in the first optional remedy so will see if that does the trick...Many thanks Dave.

.....unticked the said box but the issue remains.........back to square one I'm aftraid.....Cheers Dave

The same article also provides some other suggestions, and it ends with a description of a rather technical way to find out what causes your computer to wake. So your options aren't exhausted yet.

.....thanks Hans, I did read the entire article but concluded that the last section is what I regard as out of bounds in light of my limited knowledge of the more complex workings / settings of computers. I may delve a little deaper and see what I can comfotablyu do but putting the computer to sleep is not essential though it is a hand facility to have at mealtimes. Regards dave.
