Sorry to ask a possible repeat question; I cannot get the search to work.

When I put my MBP to sleep each night, about 20 minutes afterwards, I hear the CD drive fidget (I think), the screen flashes on, the computer seems to freak out for a bit, then goes back to sleep.

Any ideas?

Ye, same here, it just happens sooner with my mbp, like 30s after I put it to sleep. It doesn't really bother me, but it'd be nice if it could be solved.
And it only happens when there's a disc inside.

Are you using any bluetooth devices? I have a bluetooth Logitech mouse and I found the same thing happening. As it turned out just the vibration on my desk (not moving the mouse) was enough to cause the mouse to bring the machine out of sleep. Could that be it?

I was then thinking the same thing, but I couldnt really explain why it would go right back to sleep with that theory.
