    It doesn't always do it, but I'm always afraid to put it on sleep now because I always put the laptop inside the cloth pouch it came with. Any idea what can be causing this?

    Did you enable this "Allow Wake Up Timer" which found in the Power Plan in Control Panel, because if it enable it will allow the laptop to wake up to do certain automatic schedule task say a weekly AV scan.

    It's possessed! Call an exorcist! hehe

    Seriously though, maybe you have a wireless mouse that may be turning on your laptop after it goes to sleep?
