Check the power settings.
Open Control Panel>Perf/Maint>Power
Options - Power Schemes and change System Standby to
Never or whatever time span you want.

Since you've told us nothing about your computer, it's impossible to
give you a specific answer. However, you probably have something that
is being polled regularly which "wakes" the computer. Wireless
keyboards and mice can do that.

If you want more detailed help, provide more information about your
computer.

Wireless devices like cordless mice send a signal on regular intervals
polling the computer. This is enough to wake it from standby. If you
are leaving your computer for the night, why not just shut it off?
