Sleep Function

I'm having trouble with the "Sleep" function in Windows Vista Home Premium.
I can put the computer to "sleep" but something wakes it up in about ten
minutes or so and it doesn't automatically go back to sleep. Any
suggestions? Thanks.

For starters, give thought to what might be requesting data on a
scheduled basis, and perhaps causing the wake up.

Did you ever solve this problem? I'm having the same one, and I can't find
anything that would really be causing the wake-up.

Have a look at the 'S3' settings in your BIOS. You may be set to "Wake on
LAN"
bios setup access keys. Go to:
