    My Desktop does this from time to time...

    Is the laptop wireless?
    Do you leave it plugged in at night?

    It might be a power fluctuation that trips the laptop into starting.

    If it's on a network cable then it's possible a "Wake-On-Lan" signal is being sent somehow from your router or another machine.
