Default PC insomnia

Why is it that very often the PC keeps awake? The monitor switches off OK, but whereas sometimes
the PC's light blinks indicating sleep, very often it just keeps going, sometimes for more than 24
hours.

I know W10 has to do housekeeping tasks like creating backups of the operating system but surely
these tasks can't take all that time?

I have looked at the task monitor during those times and apart from the time when it was downloading
a W10 update, there hasn't been excessive internet traffic which would might indicate a malware
infection.

I use the balanced power plan, with the recommended settings. I now use Kaspersky Internet
Security, but the behaviour occurred when I used AVG.

Any ideas please?
