Last night my rig woke up a few times on its own. I have no schedule in energy saver prefs.
I checked Console and this came up:

31/08/09 22:26:40	kernel	System Sleep
1/09/09 00:14:22	SyncServer[478]	[110ed0] |SyncServer|Warning| Refreshing watchdog because of a calendar time change alert.
1/09/09 00:14:22	kernel	Wake reason = RTC
1/09/09 00:14:22	kernel	RTC: maintenance alarm 2009/8/31 22:14:21, sleep 2009/8/31 20:26:40
1/09/09 00:14:22	kernel	System Wake

This happend 5 times every 1hour 50mins or so.

Any ideas? I have an ical alarm set for today but which starts at 7 though.

Yeah, I've read that thread before.

I think it's fixed now and was caused by an ical event set yesterday.

Thx anyway for the help bud! if it stays asleep today then I'll update this thread as solved
