Windows 7 Hibernate Options

I sometimes leave my desktop pc in hibernate mode overnight.  About 4:00 o'clock in the morning I discover that it has come out of hibernation and is in active mode.

What could be causing this?

I have a Comcast internet connection running on a Comcast Motorola Surfboard modem SB6120.   I use Comcast's Norton Security Suite for protection.

I prefer  not to leave my system in hibernate overnight, but sometimes I get distracted and forget to shut the system off.

Could  Win7 be responding to a Comcast internet diagnostic?

Thanks,
Howie
