On Alienwares, LED-lights staying on after actual Sleeping accomplished is a separate issue.
Not Sleeping (or immediately waking after manually putting to Sleep) is another. Which issue do you have?
My experience is ... best to shoot-for S3 Sleep Mode. That is all drives/fans stopped and if it wasn't for the slow-flashing or glowing power-light you would swear it was off. It will still wake for Scheduled Events, keyboard/mouse clicks, Ethernet Magic Packet, etc.
Intel Ready Mode is disable for mine, but I guess that doesn't apply to AMD systems.
Sleep can be tricky to setup and troubleshoot now-days. If you are looking for easy or quick-fix you should probably just live-with-it. Just Shut-Down proper before you go to bed at night.
Hello, Tesla1856. I am having sleep issues as well. The issue with mine is that my AMD R14 does not go to sleep at all. Keyboard, mouse, and monitor all turn-off but the pc remains on with fans and full RGB lights.
I tried using cmd and event viewer to try and hunt down the anomaly but cant seem to track anything at all.
I have updated the BIOS, all drivers, and even reinstalled the Alienware command center. I have done pretty much everything except reinstall windows... I would really like to avoid that if at all possible. Any ideas or leads to info that I may have slipped by me on my search for a solution?

Hey, you're back. I agree that "reinstalling Windows-11" is kinda lame suggestion for this problem.
But how is that your answer to MY post? I explained the 2 issues, and even gave yall some tips to start trouble-shooting.
No, there is no easy "Make Sleep Mode Work Properly" option-setting, sorry.

Open up an Administrator Prompt and type in the following 2 commands:
You can also open up event viewer and go to the system log, then do a search for Power-Troubleshooter under the source column.

from a powershell or cmd (admin) windows try: powercfg /energy
This will create a report " energy-report.html" that may help you with clues .
file can be found in the c:\users\ < name> folder

A more comprehensive sleep report can be generated using the above cmd and entering:
powercfg.exe /SleepStudy

I'm having the same issue with my Aurora r15. The system log logs the wake source as "unknown."
