Lion goes back to sleep immediately after waking up - (king of the jungle slacking)

[abugbitme]

After the Lion install my Mac Pro (NOT MacBook Pro) started to go back to sleep within seconds of waking up from sleep. I noticed that it is always is doing a Time Machine backup when it goes back to sleep. So the sequence is:

Mac Pro Goes to sleep.
I wake up Mac Pro.
Mac Pro starts Time Machine backup.
Mac Pro sleeps.
I wake up Mac Pro and Time Machine backup continues and machine behavior is normal.

Setup:
Early 2009 Mac Pro 2.93 Quad, 16GB ram, OCZ Vertex II SSD, Lion 10.7.1
PleaseSleep upgraded to the Lion compatible version.

Note:
I had sleep issues with my 2009 Mac Pro shortly after buying it. PleaseSleep solved the problem and I was happy! PleaseSleep stopped working properly after the Lion upgrade but the update seemed to work correctly other than the "wake twice" problem.

UPDATE:

Regarding this problem, I've tried about everything and it doesn't seem to be related to anything to do with sharing.

What I have found is a messy work around. I use PleaseSleep to have my Mac Pro sleep according to the System Preferences settings, it sleeps right on time. I've added Wake Assist, which at least so far seems to prevent Lion from sleeping right after it wakes up.

It would be great if Apple could assign a team of programmers to sort out sleep issues. Maybe they should hire these "home office" programmers to sort out the mac sleep/wake issues. This is a basic performance issue that users should not have to deal with.

UPDATE Dec. 4, 2011
This worked for a while then I was surprised to see it start doing the double sleep thing again. I guess it's time to bite the bullet and do a re-install.

LOCECC worked

PROBLEM SOLVED

I turned off Internet sharing and it immediately stopped. I had just turned it on the day before. GOOD CALL!

I uninstalled InsomniaT (using a list of Terminal commands for a manual uninstall) and the problem appears to be gone.

HOORAY!!!!!!

Alright so, after extensive troubleshooting... here is what I came up with:

I narrowed it down to an extension I had installed on my mac to replace InsomniaX since it isn't compatible with snow leopard (although I believe that having insomniaX might cause it to do it too....)

I had installed InsomniaT on my computer ages ago, and that was the culprit. After uninstalling that, I sleep normally. It appears it wasn't even Apple's problem at all. Can anyone else confirm if they have insomniaT (or X) and if removing this solves the problem for them?

Holy

Crap

I think this worked for me
