If you are a Mac user or MacBooku, you may be struggling with the fact that the display of your macOS device lights up from time to time after it goes to sleep. If you are wondering why the display lights up, we have a simple answer to this question - notifications are the cause.

This would make sense if the Mac or MacBook had an OLED display, where only part of the screen with the notification would be activated.

In this article, let's take a look at how you can prevent your macOS device's screen from lighting up in sleep mode.

I hate to spoil your fun, but there is a described bug in Mac OS that will wake up the Mac all the time. Namely, notifications from Reminder and it doesn't matter what you set. Forums are full of it, but they always tell you on the line that every problem will be solved by buying a new device. It won't solve. 🙃
