Windows keeps waking it self up from sleep or hibernate, any thoughts?

Give it a stiff drink before bed?  ;D

I think there's somewhere in Control Panel > Power Options where you can disable it from waking up.

Either that or some other networked device is waking it up. It should be in the logs somewhere.

Yep. Network or USB waking it up. Sometimes an old mouse or USB hub could set it off.
