Re: windows 7 will not stay in sleep or hibernate
That could be a solution, but may lead you into further problems as it is neccessary to also tick the item "Allow the computer..etc" I believe the accompanying switch, as suggested, will only return this to it's default. But the Mouse and the keyboard have similar power functions which, if too sensitive, can also turn on the computer at the slightest movement. Yet again, there is often, in later model computers, a Bios function to wake the computer at intevals.
Have a look in you Power Options - Change Plan settings - Change Advanced power settings. Scrioll down to Sleep and click. Click "Allow wake timers" and disable if not already.
There is probably a third party program which can show up the item which is waking the computer. But try this.
Open a Command Prompt (Run as Administrator). And type Powercfg -lastwake this may give a clue.
