Anyones elses 27 waking randomly from sleep?

I had never put my 27" to sleep, but mine started doing this, too. Figured out it was Bluetooth pulling it out of sleep. Go into Bluetooth options, and then "Advanced," and make sure the checkbox is unchecked for allowing BT devices to wake the computer.
OP is using a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard and mouse. Disabling this would not allow the keyboard or mouse to wake the computer (at least this is how it works on my MBP).
You can still use the power button on the iMac to wake it up. With a MBP in clamshell mode it's a lot harder, for sure.
This happened to me a few times, and then I disabled the option to wake up for network access and enabled put HDD to sleep when possible.
Since them, I can't remember it ever waking up, or maybe I was just in deep sleep

Disabling the "Wake for Network Access" option in Energy Saver Preferences (System Preferences) should fix this problem.
If not, try a PRAM and SMC reset.

Mine was already disabled when my iMac kept waking up. For me at least, it was the Bluetooth issue.
🙁 I like this option as I have multiple computers I can access the iMac without manually waking
Just done this, will see if it solves the problem. If not Ill disable the bluetooth wake option and use the power button to see if this solves it.

Well, that's most likely the cause. Most people complain about it and disabling it fixes the problem most of the time.
