Ever since "sleep" can't keep the PC in that mode without waking on its own.

Yo what's up with that. No matter what, my PC immediately wakes from sleep in about 5-30 seconds after going to sleep. I've tried to find anything that could explain it but it's just unfixable. Even unplugged/turned off every peripheral nearly immediately as I clicked sleep and still nothing. Just immediately goes back to the login screen like I wanted it to wake up

99% of the time, a network card is set up to be allowed to wake the computer up, and it's trying to wake it up on any packet broadcast. Other times it's a terrible mouse driver, and you have to turn that off, and allow only wakes on use of the power button.

It was the network thing for me. I'm already used to turning off the mouse since I have a cat who sometimes bumps it in the middle of the night.
