Mac Book goes into sleep mode when fully charged

This issue is happening on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012).

If the charger is plugged in and the laptop charging with the lid closed, the laptop goes into sleep mode if left like this once the battery reaches full charge. I am not sure of the exact time frame, though this happens every night at least if left to charge, and a couple of times during the day if I leave the laptop for a while. (Assuming ~1 hour).

While not really critical and I never lost data, its getting more and more annoying having to wait for the laptop to restart from sleep mode every time. This is the only mac book I have with this issue.

If anyone has any idea's I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

MacBook Pro

Have you tried customising your MacBook's sleep mode in Energy Saver preferences?

Here is a useful article about it:About Energy Saver sleep and idle modes in Mac OS X - Apple Support

I have, as you can see from the image below, It is set to never sleep when connected to the power adapter

And I don't seem to have the same issue with other MAC's

I think your problem is caused by the closed lid.

Here is an interesting discussion on the topic: How to prevent laptop from sleep when lid closed

Hmm, well luckily for me my Mac Book only goes to sleep if the power is plugged while the lid is closed.

If it went to sleep everytime I closed the lid I would have thrown it out of the window years ago 😉

I'll try the application listed in the post though and see if it turns off again later tonight and let you know.

It would be rather annoying though to have to use a 3rd party app to fix.

Thanks

I agree. Using 3rd party option for something like this doesn't seem right.
