Android system log file

Tags:

Does android OS log system events to a log file somewhere? If so, where/how can I read this?

Background: After leaving my SEMC X10 Mini Pro on charge last night, I wake up to find it was off. I'd like to look in a log file to try and work out when and why the phone switched itself off.
