Mac Keeps Waking Up From Sleep By Itself FIX [Tutorial]

If your Mac doesn’t go to sleep when you expect it to, or if it wakes up unexpectedly, you may need to change your sleep preferences. If that doesn’t work, something may be waking your Mac.

Next, unplug all of your USB devices and wait for your Mac to automatically go to sleep. If it doesn’t wake up from sleep like it usually does with your problem, then it’s one of your USB devices that’s causing the issue. Redo all of this but only plug one USB device back in until you figure out which device is causing the issue.

So why would a USB device be the culprit? It could be that a key on your keyboard is malfunctioning and sending that info to your Mac so that it can never truly go to sleep. The same could happen to the mouse, where one of the buttons could be stuck and is pressed down the whole time, preventing your Mac from sleeping.

This is especially the case if you have your Mac connected to a network drive or server in your house. Whenever, the network drive is active, it could send a command to your Mac to wake up. This can also be the case for iTunes sharing, Printer sharing, and File sharing.

A few Mac users have recently been complaining that their MacBook's/Pros/Airs keep waking from sleep. The end result is that when they do want to use them again, perhaps the following morning, their batteries are partially discharged – more than they should had they remained asleep.
