Help Screen Keeps Turning on - Please Help

Droid X running stock .621, rooted.

As of a few days ago, my screen keeps flashing on for maybe a 1/2 second every few minutes or so. I don't think it always happens 24/7, but I've caught it happening a lot. It does eems to happen shortly after a reboot as well. The screen goes off nearly immediately. It definitely doesn't time out and go off after 1 minute, like it would if I manually turned it on.

Perhaps it's an app update gone bad or something else, I really have no idea. It's pretty annoying though.

It doesn't appear to be drastically affecting battery life.

I have the betterbatterystats app and with 5 hours since counters were reset, awake time doesn't appear to be abnormal (it's at 30% right now with 16% screen on time). If I look at partial wakelocks, the largest one is AlarmManager at 13m and 55s. Nothing else is over 4 minutes.

I do have Yahoo Sportacular giving me sports score notifications and K-9 giving me email notifications, but I'm nearly certain that I've caught the screen coming on plenty of times when I didn't have any notification come in.

How can I figure out what's causing my screen to come on by itself rather frequently?
 
This is still occurring. I recently switched from stock GB to an ICS ROM and it's still happening, so obviously it must be some sort of misbehaving app.

How can I figure out what's doing this?
