M1 MacBook Pro Booting Up While Lid Closed

My M1 MacBook Pro has twice booted up with the lid closed. With Intel Macbooks, you can disable auto-boot with sudo nvram AutoBoot=%03; that doesn't work with M1. Any idea on an alternative command for M1 or even how to reset the NVRAM or PRAM with the M1?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

Same problem! I observed that it only boots up when I insert it on my laptop sleeves that has magnetic flap on it. I kinda concluded that my laptop sleeves magnet is making my macbook thinks that it is open so it boots up automatically. My solution I don’t use sleeves with magnetic flaps on it.
