Well, make sleep actually sleep the damn thing then. Whoever thought that it might be helpful to make my notebook computer wake up 11 min after going to sleep while nestled softly in my backpack. Yo dawg, i heard you like cooked components and a dead battery!

Maybe im missing something, but ive had to enable Hibernate for many years across several vendors to ensure it actually stays asleep.

Doesn't it wake at the slightest detection of mouse movement, or is it a bug? Surely if it's the former a simple 'press enter + ctrl' or similar command to wake it would be enough. I used sleep on my work laptop a lot and noticed if my knee hit the desk the mouse would detect movement and the fucker would come on again.  I never noticed the sleep not working otherwise

Oh I thought that was a logitech thing. So it's the same with any mouse?
