MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 2023) not going to sleep

Hi!


My 2023 MacBook Pro 16-inch (Apple M2 Pro) running macOS 14.0 (23A344) no longer goes to sleep automatically. Even when I manually put it to sleep (Apple menu > Sleep), it often stays awake.


I’ve checked Activity Monitor, and nothing seems to be preventing sleep.


Any idea what might be causing this?


Thanks!


Chris.

First thing to do would to Close ALL the applications appearing in your Image above


Second would to update " My 2023 MacBook Pro 16-inch (Apple M2 Pro) running macOS 14.0 (23A344) "


Which is the Initial release of Sonoma back on Sept 26, 2023 macOS 14.0  ( 23A344 )


There have been approximately 15 or 16 updates since that time


Apple security releases


Keep your Mac up to date


To add


This computer also qualifies for the Next Newer Version of macOS 15 Sequoia


macOS Sequoia compatible Computers 


Whatever way you go with this


Always make a Time Machine Backup  before doing any upDates / upGrades 


Better still >>


To truly protect your non replaceable Data


Have a 3-2-1 Rescue Plan in place and always current


3 Backups using 2 methods and 1 off site incase of natural disaster or un-natural disaster.


Each of the above should be done to a Dedicated Single Purposed External Drive
