I use my late 2011 MBP as desktop mainly, it sits on my desk connected to a USB keyboard, mouse, and hdmi adapter monitor. When I walk away from the computer, the screen goes dark after a few minutes and it seems to be asleep. However, hours later I will notice the fans are still running and the white led on the front is one continuously instead of slowly flashing. Is this normal behavior? If not, how do I correct it?
Got a tip for us?

MBP half sleeps after many hours

What times did you set in System Preferences > Energy Saver > Power Adapter > Computer sleep / Display sleep? Is your Mac still doing something while you go away? What if you close the lid to actually trigger sleep?
