Mac Book Pro Insomnia Cured

I somethings reach my destination, take my laptop (mac Book Pro 17″) out of my bag and find its already awake and consequently a little warn from being wrapped up in its snug environment.

Today I came across an article from Jonathan “Wolf” Rentzch that may solve the mystery.

It seems the lid sensor can sometimes be a little sensitive and certain movements make it think its been opened, which by default wakes the machine up.

A quick command line entry sudo pmset lidwake 0 turns this default off and will hopefully solve the problem. Now when I lift the lid I have to press the main power button to wake the machine up.

Oh life is tough but I think I can get through it!
