Windows 10: Sleep Mode playing videos in the middle of the night.

So for Christmas I got a new laptop, love the thing. It runs on windows 10 and I always keep it on sleep mode instead of turning it off (a waste of power I know). I also always leave chrome open, either in the taskbar or fully open.

Frequently, in the middle of the night the thing just starts playing the YouTube video I had left paused in chrome, still being locked.

Is this a bug or does this have something to do with windows updating itself when I am not around?

I can tell every open application refreshes itself because chrome isn’t full screen sometimes, and Spotify, that I keep open flashes orange (usually happens when it’s opened or opening).

Windows Sleep Secretly Plays YouTube Videos for Hours While "Sleeping"

When I tell the computer to "sleep" while I'm watching youtube, it pretends to sleep and silently watches YouTube all night. It has done this multiple times.. When I click "sleep" the computer pretends to sleep by turning off the screen, and even the hard-drive
and "thinking" lights turn off. I then go to sleep for hours while the computer sleeps too. Then I wake up and turn my computer back on. Here is what I find:

1. the computer mouse is often still hovering over the "sleep button" with the windows start menu up (as if it never vanished when clicked).
   
2. You tube continues to play silently for hours.
   

Today I found I'd been watching hours of political videos when I was sleeping and my computer screen and sounds were off because they were in "sleep" mode. WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON? Why does sleep not mean sleep? Why does YouTube play 3 other videos when
the computer is not supposed to by using it's computing power?

Someone recommended :

"In Advanced Power Settings, turn Hybrid Sleep OFF. Check also for Modern Sleep if you have it and turn that OFF as well. Restart and Suspend again. It should be now properly suspended". Unfortunately, "Allow hybrid sleep" already shows
it was set to "off". I do not see Modern Sleep listed as an option.

Why is the computer still using the internet and playing videos (without sound or picture)? How can I make it "sleep" the way computers are supposed to sleep (without doing things and secretly using their processors and wasting battery power).
