Q: Why does my MBP wake on its own with the lid shut?

Several times a day my MBP wakes itself with the screen shut and no one touching it and then in a couple of minutes goes back to sleep. And the real ironic thing is that the WiFi comes right up. How I know this, is that if I open the screen the machine is right there ready to go with the WiFi up and running. If I wake it myself by opening the screen, it can take hours for the WiFi to work. And do mean "hours". I've waited up to 3 hours for it to connect to the router 30 feet away.

 

So I am wondering why the wake and the WiFi working instantly? Is my MBP sending something somewhere? If so, what is it that is being sent?
