Methods and systems for implementing a user-personalized wake policy may enable learning of actual user behavior over daily, weekly, and/or monthly time scales. Based on actual usage patterns of a user of an information handling system, the user-personalized wake policy may automatically wake the information handling system in advance of when the user is predicted to desire to use the information handling system. Other actions, such as network data updates, may be automatically performed by the user-personalized wake policy in advance of the user-personalized wake times.
