Sleep Mode instantly pops me OUT of sleep

Not sure what is causing this. System specs in my sig, but relevant points:

3930k (X79 socket 2011, Asus Rampage IV Extreme) 64gb RAM, 256gb SSD boot, Win 7 SP1 64-bit

I do have a fair share of USB devices plugged in, including Apple Cinema Displays

As subject says, the computer won't sleep. Not sure if there's some random page setting file, or if I need to create some massive hibernation file for all my RAM (though this didn't seem to solve it), etc.

Any ideas?
 
Use the powercfg tool to diagnose the problem: Open an elevated command prompt and run this command to see powercfg syntax:

powercfg /?

Run this command to identify what what device last woke your PC:

powercfg /lastwake


Run this command to enumerate applications and drivers making power requests that prevent the PC from sleeping:

powercfg /requests

To see a description for usage, of any powercfg command and what it does, you would type the following, for example:

powercfg /requests /?


Once identified; you can disable devices from waking the computer via powercfg commands, Power Options in Control Panel, and via Device Manager.
