MacBook won't sleep

[Jacksonc]

My MacBook won't go to sleep. The sleep light comes on solid, but never starts blinking. When I type pmset -g assertions in terminal, I get this:

Assertion status system-wide:
BackgroundTask 1
PreventDiskIdle 0
ApplePushServiceTask 0

PreventUserIdleDisplaySleep 0

No kernel assertions.

The com.apple.iohideventsystem.queue.tickle seems to be some kind of issue in mavericks. Does anyone know what to do about this, or know of a solution? Thanks in advance!

For sleep issues, you may find some useful ideas here:

• OS X: About Power Nap
• Determine why your Mac wakes up from sleep
• OS X Mavericks: If your Mac won’t go to or stay in sleep
• Mac OS X: Why your Mac might not sleep or stay in sleep mode
• One sleep problem caused by printers - solved ... and another
• If your Mac isn't sleeping properly and you have gfxCardStatus installed, try uninstalling it.

Thanks, but this is different than what those links say. It's the com.apple.iohideventsystem.queue.tickle that is the main problem. There is a long thread on the Apple support as well as on MR forum. So far I haven't found a solution.
