My MacBook CE is not going to sleep!! HELP!

[egk69]

Hi, a few days ago i notice that my macbook seems to loose some battery in a few hours when i put it to sleep (close the lid). Like it is 100% at 3:00 AM and when im going to use it at 12 or so, the battery is like 50% or so, i seems weird to me cause this thing use to have an awesome battery!

Today i use my MB and at 5:00PM i went to work (i just close the lid and put it on my backpack) now at 7:00PM (2 hours later) I was looking for my camera on my backpack and the MB was HOT as hell!, i took it out and i was still ON!

What is happening!?

Could having my MB turn on on my backpack a few times (i dont know how many times this has happen) damage something on my MB!!??

I would recommend doing a SMC Reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
and a

PRAM reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379

See if that helps before we get into more serious configurations.
