Ever since upgrading to High Sierra, I've noticed that my iMac is constantly waking up from sleep to do some background processes for a minute or two, and then returns to sleep for 10-30 seconds before waking up again.
Is there a way to check what processes are constantly waking up my iMac?
Here's a snapshot of my Activity Monitor. Does anything look out of the ordinary?
iMac with Retina 5K display, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)
Try disabling "Wake for network access" and "Enable Power Nap" in System Preferences > Energy Saver.

Various non-Apple "syncing" services, for one. Try disabling or otherwise preventing them from doing whatever they do, and observe the results.
Thanks dialabrain. This stopped it from waking up. I wonder what it was on the network that was waking it up so often...
iMac keeps waking from sleep every minute
