I've been putting my PC into hibernation mode every night, but it keeps turning on by itself after a few hours. I try to ignore it, and eventually, it goes into sleep mode, but it keeps waking up randomly, which really disrupts my sleep. This used to not be a problem, so I'm not sure what's going on. Does anyone have any ideas about what might be causing this?

In your device manager, check the settings for your mice and keyboards. Under their properties, you can disable their ability to wake the computer. I do this with my Logitech software updates. Also, look at your network adapters and disable power savings for them. Lastly, go to advanced power settings and turn off any wake timers.
You might want to use the command 'powercfg /lastwake' in an elevated command prompt. It can tell you what's waking up your computer.
Your computer's waking up due to something called 'wake on LAN' or maybe USB power settings. Check your BIOS settings and make sure wake on LAN is turned off. Also, disable USB power saving features. If the issue persists, software updates could also be a culprit.
It's good that it's coming from hibernation. I had a computer that was waking up from a full shutdown. That's even more frustrating!
