Monitor regularly wakes up during the night.

[Barrymore]

Generally this problem is blamed on a new mouse or some other new hardware.
The newest hardware I have is my monitor which is six months old.
This problem started two weeks ago and I have not installed any new software.
So can someone please suggest what could be causing this?

Also valid with old hardware. Put mouse upside down, check touchpad.
Disable wake up on mouse.

Otherwise you must have a motion intensive dreams... Is your computer desk inside your kicking range?

Try unplugging the mouse?

Try unplugging the mouse?

Not practicable. I would have to move the PC table/desk to gain access.

Switch the PC off

No way. Heating and cooling of components reduces the lifespan.

Turn off the monitor?

Turn off the monitor?

Yes, that is what I have started doing. I still wish I knew the reason for this constant waking up.
