MacBook Wont Stay in Sleep Mode - MacBook Pro 2018

My MacBook wasn't going to sleep mode when I close the lid. So I've had to start putting it into sleep mode manually.

Now the issue is that it keeps coming out of sleep mode on its own, with the lid closed. This is becoming a problem as it gets very hot when travelling.

Is there a way to stop it coming out of sleep mode on its own?

Also is there some kind of way to test the sensors so i can be sure its a hardware issue?

Reset SMC by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset SMC. If that does not solve things then-
Reset NVRAM/PRAM by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset NVRAM/PRAM. If that does not solve things then-
Enter ➔ Safe Mode and see if the issue still exists in Safe mode. Log out of Safe Mode and then reboot computer. If that does not solve things then-
Finally if none of the above works then you can enter ➔ macOS Recovery Mode and reinstall the macOS and see if that solves it.
