iMac keeps waking from sleep!!

Hi folks,

My iMac keeps waking from sleep at random intervals, sometimes after a few seconds after sleeping.

This is the Console log I took immediately after waking:

Any ideas why this keeps happening?

Many thanks,

Hi there, Adamskiodp!

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! I know how important it is to be sure the computer is not "waking up" at random times on its own. Without knowing what steps you've tried so far to troubleshoot, I would suggest trying the steps in this article:

If your Mac doesn't sleep or wake when expected - Apple Support

If your Mac wakes unexpectedly

Your Mac might wake for these activities:

Network activity that uses the Wake on Demand feature. Examples of network activity include iTunes sharing, photo sharing, printer sharing, file sharing, and using Back to My Mac.

Enhanced notifications from FaceTime, Messages, and other apps and services.

Bluetooth activity. To prevent Bluetooth devices from waking your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth. Click the Advanced Button, then deselect "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer."

Try safe mode if your Mac doesn‘t finish starting up.

This startup can isolate issues to the startup disk. If those steps don't work, try the steps in this article:
