Even worse, if a mouse is enabled for wakeup then the system may get woken up at the wrong time. The example people often use is a laptop with a USB mouse thrown into a backpack while it is asleep. Something else inside the backpack may accidentally press against a mouse button, causing the system to wake up even though the user wants it to remain asleep. Alan Stern
