My laptop computer shuts down when I'm away, what's the reason?

My laptop computer shuts down when I’m away, what’s the reason? When I leave to go somewhere, my laptop shuts ddown then when I come home and touch it, it turns back on. What’s causing it to shut down while I’m away? Could it be too hot? Or, would it be wearing out? I love my laptop since this computer is my first one since I don’t own a desktop. I would appreciate some feedback. Thanks.
