[QUOTE="chrisdmx, post: 972642, member: 128079"] I have a MBP since 2 months and have noticed that "problem" too, came aware of it good a month agoo. My computer never goes to sleep, although it should following the preferences set. It just shuts off the screen, but doesn't sleep. It only sleeps when i put it asleep by clicking the apple in the menu and then "sleep". How do I know? Easily: When really asleep it needs about 5% of the battery capacity overnight (8-9 hours) and can not be waked up by touching the trackpad. It does wake up by touching the spacebar, after about a second When it has put itself asleep (but in fact has shut off the screen only, it needs about 4-5% of the battery an hour, e.g. fast 10 times more power, and comes immediately (does not need a second) "awake" by touching the trackpad. Putting to sleep "automatically" just is not working as it should and never has on my computer. And probably neither on all others, recently purchased ? Hope this was of help.
