If I put my computer to sleep the computer will wake up about 5 minutes later, then about 10 to 15 minutes it goes back to sleep.

Any ideas what could be happening?
 
Solution
The 2nd set of options is titled "wake on LAN" and all should be unchecked. If those are the only 3, then it could be the mouse or keyboard. You could disable the same option in your mouse settings and see if it still does it and only wake the PC up with your keyboard.

If you know that your keyboard and mouse isn't triggering it, it could be wake on LAN turning it back on. Find the network adapter settings and find the one you are using. Right click and in the options, look for power management and make sure the box next to "allow this device to wake the computer" is not checked.
