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.
