ummmm

It turns on if you don't shut it down and just close the lid.

I doubt it would be to turn it on from a powered off state but to wake it from sleep or hibernation, pretty well all laptops I've seen can do this as they use the sensor which switches the screen off when you shut them.

When I go to bed, I put it in Hibernation, but have to press the on switch next time, as I dont fancy leaving it on on all night, so would sleep mode be safe?

ummmm

I just shut the lid most nights.
