There you have it Jim R. If you travel with a MBP and it gets jostled, it can waken it. Remember, it is only a magnet that is causing it to go to sleep. The MBP then starts up and needs circulation for cooling. It can either overheat, or run down the battery.
This used to happen to me when I went to the library. Luckily for me, the library is only 5 blocks away.

That is possible. Typically when I¡¯m using the laptop away from its usual locations, when I finish using it I¡¯ll just slip it into my laptop carrying case and leave. Once or twice (at least) I¡¯ve arrived somewhere else, removed it from its case, and found it very warm with almost no battery charge remaining. However, that¡¯s very infrequent, and when I witnessed multiple restarts yesterday the computer was not unduly warm at any time.
I¡¯ve not yet downloaded iStat Menus but plan to do so and monitor it to see if it provides some clues.
Thanks for suggesting this as a possible cause.
