When the cleaning man has been by my desk then my computer wakes up from sleep. How can I make it insensitive to mouse movements?

is it a bluetooth mouse? – RobZolkos Apr 20 '11 at 7:26
the mouse is connected with a cable. A bluetooth device.. hmm, good idea. – neoneye Apr 20 '11 at 7:41
Yeah with bluetooth you have this option. Not with wired :( – RobZolkos Apr 20 '11 at 8:04
You have this option with a wired mouse. Unplug it. – Jason Salaz♦ Apr 20 '11 at 16:49

If it is a bluetooth mouse you can disable it waking the computer by unchecking 

Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer.

in System Preferences - Bluetooth - Advanced

This will also effect the wireless keyboard waking the Mac so you will need to use the power button to wake it.
