Windows 8 does not go to sleep or stay asleep

Putting Windows to sleep is a great way to save energy, but sometimes
a PC refuses to go to bed – or stay in it. This is usually caused by
devices triggering a wake command.
You can see the devices that have permission to wake your PC by
opening the Command Line (do a Windows search for “cmd”) and then typing
the command powercfg –devicequery wake_armed.

Now that you have a list, open Device Manager and track down each
component. Double click to open a component’s properties, and then go to
the Power Management tab. In this tab you’ll see a checkbox next to
“allow this device to wake this computer.” Uncheck this box.
Go through
your devices one-by-one, putting your PC to sleep after each, to find
the offender.
If your PC still wakes, the problem may be Windows Update. Do a
Windows search for, and open, the Action Center.

Then click on the
Maintenance section. In the menu that opens, click the “change
maintenance settings” text, then uncheck the box next to “allow
scheduled maintenance to wake up my computer.”
Alternatively, you can
re-schedule maintenance to run at a time that won’t bother you.
