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.

I have done this, yet every now and then my macbook still wants to connect to my bluetooth headphones from my backpack.

Hah, sounds like OS X! I have every possible Universal Control setting turned off, yet the process continues running and slurping up CPU cycles. It's impossible to kill or really disable unless you turn off SIP, and I'd prefer not to do that.
