I was nowhere near it when it just came on!!

I have had this happen many times... it started when I went to college, and I couldn't figure it out, and I had also had it happen to me at home...
One thing, though, I figured out that the reason my computer had turned on again... I had attached a LAN (Local Area Network) cable to my computer, and it was connected to the internet. You may think about that... the reason my computer had come on is that the LAN card was set to "Allow activity in connection to wake up computer" in the LAN card options... once I turned that option off, it stopped turning on by itself.
Hope this helps,
Aloha,
Dave

Go into the bios power options and check what the computer is scheduled to do after a power loss. If restart, change it. Cheers.

You probably have "sleep" software installed.
