>One out of two nights, the thing would randomly wake out of hibernation

I'm sure you mistakenly used sleep instead of hibernate without knowing or remembering, to have that issue, or you had the issue where hibernate didn't work and reverted to sleep instead.

I also had that issue and discovered that the Linux dual-boot installation with Grub's changes to the MBR broke Window's capability to hibernate, so me hitting hibernate was actually triggering sleep instead.

Hibernate does not randomly wake up.

On Windows, hibernate is a sleep state.

Here’s an example of a Windows machine waking from hibernate and how it was fixed:

These kinds of problems are not uncommon and are not always due to users confusing the different sleep states.
