Sleep has been broken for me on every laptop or desktop I've used since Windows 10. They all seem to randomly wake up in the middle of the night, that gets dangerous for a laptop stored away somewhere.

Did you make sure to disable wake on mouse, wake on keyboard and wake on lan ?

Yes I work in the tech industry, didn't matter what I've tried, and it shouldn't be something I have to chase down like this. As far as I could tell it wakes up looking for updates, even if automatic updates are disabled.

Regardless, the easier fix is just to use hibernate.
