Why won't it enter Sleep mode?

Hi, I'm sure it is checked. I went into the advanced power options and
enabled it. But when I tell the computer to sleep, the screen goes off but
Windows pops up at the welcome screen about 5 seconds later. It does this
both before and after I enabled hibernation. The computer will hibernate.

tick one checkbox in power management of the mouse properties in device
manager so it doesnt allow to wake the computer.
