I'm having a similar issue with my Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop, running Vista
Home Premium RTM. Every morning at 3AM it will wake, and not go back to
sleep no matter how long it idles. Normally, it will go to sleep after 30
minutes of inactivity. Like you, I could not find any scheduled task that is
causing this.
