Macbook Pro overheats in sleep
Recently I've noticed that my MacBook Pro doesn't always go into sleep when I close the lid or even if I click "Sleep" in the Apple menu. I'm a college student, so I usually put my laptop into its sleeve and into my backpack to take to class, thinking that my computer is asleep. When I take it out it's usually really warm and you can hear the fans going off. It then takes a while to wake up and cool down. And when it does wake up, it's slow (hello spinning beachball) and sometimes freezes. I've also noticed that when I put it into sleep the display goes to sleep but the sleep indicator light doesn't pulsate on and off like it used to; it stays on for a while. Sometimes after a minute it will pulsate like it's supposed to.
I have a MacBook Pro (13", mid 2012) and keep the OS and other software up to date.
Version: OS X Yosemite 10.10.3
Processor speed: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Storage capacity: 500GB
I've tried almost all the troubleshooting steps you could find on the internet...
- Deleting junk and large files
- Verifying and repairing permissions and disk
- Apple Hardware Test
- Resetting the SMC
- Defaulting the Energy Saver options
When I put pmset -g into Terminal I get:
Active Profiles:
Battery Power 1
AC Power -1*
Currently in use:

sleep 10 (sleep prevented by UserEventAgent, UserEventAgent, UserEventAgent, UserEventAgent, UserEventAgent, UserEventAgent, UserEventAgent)

I don't know what "UserEventAgent" is or why it appears 7 times. When I did this I only had chrome and the Terminal open.
And when I do syslog | grep -i "Wake reason" I get:

Has anyone had this same problem and been able to fix it? I want to try everything I can before taking it in to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store. Any help is appreciated.
