I never switch off my mac in the office, instead i use the energy saving mode to suspend the mac to disc. This is all working fine, but I have one problem: when the cleaning lady is cleaning the office, she also moves the mouse and the mac wakes up.
Can I set the energy save to not to wake up on mouse movements?

Go to System Preferences » Bluetooth » Advanced and turn off "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer."
To wake the computer, you'll have to press the power button.
I do this because my iMac wakes itself up in the middle of the night.
3Kind of a dumb answer but whenever you step away from the desk you can flip the mouse upside down.
5I pull the mouse and keyboard usbs out slightly before the room gets cleaned, I just push them back in to turn it on.
Most bluetooth mice of which I am familiar have a power switch on the bottom to save battery. If yours does, I suggest just turning off the mouse at night and back on the next day.
For those of you without a bluetooth mouse you can put sticky tack over the laser and it won't wake up. Easy to remove and doesn't leave residue.
