Backing up to TimeMachine immediately after waking from sleep?

I realize that my Mac and many other Macs will backup to TimeMachine immediately upon waking from sleep. This seems odd since it's not like I was doing anything with it while it was sleeping. I would not think this is related to PowerNap b/c doesn't PowerNap backup during sleep anyway? (Not even sure if PowerNap is active on my computer).


Is backing up immediately after waking normal behavior? Can I turn set it to only do it an hour or so after waking? Or is it simply because it missed the scheduled time machine backup according to the clock time?

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), SSD
