@irene instead of a clasp it's one of those magnetic closures where you just press them together and it'll lock. Very easy to put on with one hand but unfriendly towards laptops it would seem.

@filthyranter I did the first time I had the issue but that didn't stop it so I turned it back on, haha. I do like auto sleep, very convenient because I always just close the lid and go.

@electrineer there were several comments from people who had had the same issue with Apple watches and whatnot. It wasn't even a post about my specific model of laptop but one from the same series, so I guess it's a common but weird problem.

Today I found a post on the Dell forums by another person with the same problem. Apparently a magnetic closure on my bracelet triggered a sensor to think I had shut the lid on my laptop. What. The. Fuck. Guess that explains why it would only happen sometimes, as I don't wear this bracelet often 🙃🔫 definitely the funniest and weirdest problem I've ever had with a laptop.
