Yes, the above was a valuable clue! It looks like the “Eurogreenies” are
indeed at fault!
I just went, line by line, through all of the pmset -g settings, and I think I
found the problem.
Somehow autopoweroff was set to 1. autopoweroffdelay was set to 14400, which
is 4 hours.
The man page says:
autopoweroff is enabled by default on supported platforms as an implementation
of Lot 6 to the European Energy-
related Products Directive. After sleeping for <autopoweroffdelay>
seconds, the system will write a hibernation
image and go into a lower power chipset sleep. Wakeups from this state
will take longer than wakeups from regu-
lar sleep.
I’ve now set autopoweroff to 0, and I will leave the system untouched
overnight. This should restore some sanity.
