Right, I'm not awake yet. 36 minutes is odd. The only scenario I can think of:
- acpi shutdown did not work, it was instead a 'halt' and in your sleep you 
pressed the any key to start the reboot ;)

You can see if shutdown works properly by shutdown -p NOW. Then try the same 
using the power button, just in case there's something different. If that all 
works, search for monkeys.
