If you'd like to change that, you can go to System Settings → Battery → Options → Wake for Network Access

Or just search for "Power Nap" (what it used to be called). They usually wake up intermittently for Time Machine backups, wake-on-lane and other stuff.

I have mine set to `NEVER` [wake for network access] and yet it still makes DNS requests often while asleep.

Curiously, it is able to maintain network connection even through the 1/4" steel of the safe it's stored within. The older Intel MBP doesn't and cannot.
