It's more likely that something is triggering the touch sensor. For the IR based touch, that just needed something touching the screen. For the capacitive based touch, it needs to be something that is detected as a touch. It could be you, or it could be that whatever the blankets are made of do it. If a constant touch on the screen is detected, then it will run the battery down quickly.
