I have a desktop fluorescent light next to my computer,
and I noticed that, much of the time, turning the light
on will wake the computer from sleep. I'm using Windows
Vista now, and can't remember this happening with XP.
(Although I may simply not have noticed back then.)

If your mobo/soundcard/etc has an IR receiver that you do not use, cover it
with a piece of tape.
