I'm having an issue with my PC waking itself up during the night, and it's leaving my OLED monitor displaying a static screen which worries me due to burn-in concerns. Normally, I just put my PC to sleep before bed. I'm looking for help on two main points: 1) How can I prevent my computer from waking up overnight? and 2) If it does wake up, how can I get it to go back to sleep automatically? I've already checked the power settings, but it doesn't seem to be working as it should. Thanks in advance for your help!

You should try running `powercfg -lastwake` to identify what's waking up your PC. Once you know the culprit, you can take steps to stop it from doing that. As for getting it back to sleep, it's usually related to what's waking it up in the first place, so fixing that should help.
I turned off my PC since I'm going out for Christmas. Hopefully, I can check it out later and figure this out.
