Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, My MBP refuses to stay asleep. I usually put it to sleep and then close the laptop. After 30 min to a few hours of remaining in sleep mode, it will wake up on its own. Since it is in clamshell mode, it goes back into sleep mode and then immediately wakes up again and remains in this endless cycle. Annoying when I am trying to sleep. Below is what appears in the logs each time it wakes up:

Is anyone else having this issue? I did an upgrade from 10.5.8. The only USB device installed is a mouse. I did some research and did not find much. I deleted the files in \Library\Preferences\SystemConfiguration and rebooted. I also removed the Airport service and readded it. I thought the cause was Airport but now I am not so sure. Any ideas? I am not having any other issues.

The EHC message means SOME sort USB device is waking it up. FYI, the internal Bluetooth is on a USB bus. Do you have it enabled? If you don't need it disable it, as it wastes battery. If you do, at least consider turning off Bluetooth wake (System Prefs > Bluetooth > Advanced > Allow Bluetooth Devices to Wake This Computer)
 
Thanks for the quick reply. Bluetooth is not on. Any other internal devices use the USB bus?
