I do. I had a few poor experiences with laptops accidentally turning on while in the bag between 1995 and 2010.
After the last time, in 2010, when the thing started beeping due to overheating, I started the habit of shutting down/hibernating completely instead of just closing the lid and popping it into the bag.
