My dell xps hibernation doesn't work.
20% of the time it works.
40% of the time it won't wake and I have to kill it (screen stays dark even though keyboard indicates it is awake)
30% of the time it just immediately wakes
10% of the time it wakes at like 2am and power cycles my monitor every 30 seconds waking me up

- zeven7 5y agoI'll back you up on this. I tried the trick to switch to hibernate, but it actually got worse for me than my problems with sleep.

- GekkePrutser 5y agoMy Mac did that too but I tracked it to Wake on LAN, some random probes from other equipment were walking it up sometimes.
- oauea 5y agoWhat kind of evil IoT crapware is sending WoL packets to random devices on the network?
- GekkePrutser 5y agoIt wasn't actual WoL. It was broadcasts. For some reason it woke the Mac up when WoL was switched on. We're taking 2015 or so so I don't have the packet logs anymore but I was able to replicate it by resending them. So the fault is really the Mac's. It should only accept real well formed WoL packets with its own Mac address.
- superjan 5y agoOK, from the comments I read so far I realize that I may have been lucky with an older laptop. And I did not mention that I also turned off wake timers, realized that now. If this does not work on modern hardware that’s a real bummer.
