What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install nosleep
2. Set it to disabled (black) state
3. Do not set it to run at startup
4. Close the lid
5. System stays on

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
System should sleep!

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
(if you don't know how to get a version number, enter "kextstat|grep -i
nosleep" in Terminal.app, without quotes)
1.3.3, OS X 10.9.2

Please provide any additional information below.
This thing totally makes me crazy. I have a late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro 15.
Everything worked perfectly, till I installed NoSleep.
NoSleep seems to function well, except it completely disables system sleep!
It was making me crazy, I even did a full, clean system reinstall using a 
10.9.2 USB disk.
The new system was working perfectly, till I installed NoSleep. 
Then it was not possible to sleep anymore. I tried closing the lid and clicking 
sleep in start menu, the computer just didn't go to sleep. NoSleep wasn't 
running and it was not set to run at startup. I restarted the computer many 
times, no luck.

Then I uninstalled NoSleep using the included command! => Everything got fixed! 
Sleeps normally, just like before!

So somehow NoSleep kills my system's sleep-ability, even if it's not running.

Here is dmesg, after uninstalled NoSleep:
