Launch the command prompt and execute the command: powercfg -devicequery wake_armed. This will list all hardware capable of waking the computer from sleep. Next, open Device Manager and disable any devices listed there that allow wake functionality (click right-click on a device, go to Properties, then Power Management tab, and uncheck the option).
