I quitted the application but my Mac still can't fall asleep. Why?

After quitting of the application, it can not affect the Mac sleep in any way. Sometimes other applications such as browsers, video players or the operating system can prevent the sleep of your Mac. Close all applications that you no longer use and wait a bit. Or put it into sleep mode manually.
