My mouse is not new and I have not been placing it differently.  It is a 
rechargeable mouse that I put in the charger every night, which seems to 
disable the normal functions (i.e., the scroll wheel does not work when the 
mouse is in the charger).

My first thought was that it was due to vibration, such as someone walking 
nearby (as you suggest), but the screen wakes up even in the middle of the 
night, so that theory does not seem to fit.

Any other ideas?  Thanks,

Gregg
