I went to grab my phone to text someone, I had left it on my bedroom dresser.

It was off. Unresponsive to holding the power key down, the sleep button, anything. It had a 70% charge and there was no reason it shouldn't be coming on! I sorta flipped out and ran to plug it into the wall charger. Nothing. Would NOT come on even after a minute.

Then I really freaked and plugged it into my computer ASAP and it booted up when power to the computer came. It only had a 32% charge now.

I had only left it on my dresser for about 2 hours, doing nothing, with the screen off.

What happened?? Should I bring the phone into Apple or Best Buy (I have the hugely overpriced $14.99 a month insurance) to see if there's something wrong? Should I take everything out and start over?

I use the phone as an alarm for work and I really can't have it shutting off in the middle of the night like this again on me.
