Default Issues with Battery Drain while Asleep

My motorola xoom gets great battery life when I use it.. However, When my tablet is asleep, i drained 25% in 6 hours

When I looked at battery uses - it showed android OS was eating up the battery while asleep/standy by -

Anyone know what is causing Android OS to be burning my battery while asleep?

I am on airplane mode with wifi on, and the ONLY running services i have are

"settings" ; "thumb keyboard" ; and "google services"

I am NOT rooted, im running the latest update 3.0.1

additionally, I dont think its a battery issue, as I get great battery with continuous use.

looks like theres background services running. make sure you're not pulling updates for any of your apps overnight.

proper test, is to have no 3rd party applications, and leaving it overnight.

"Android OS" can contain the background update services.

Sprint HTC Evo 4G
Motorola Xoom WiFi
T-Mobile HTC G2

What do your wifi settings look like? the simple idea that the antenna is on or scanning for something that's not there will drain life too

Yep, if your settings are to poll every 10 mins for email, facebook, twitter etc then it'll take a definite toll on your battery.

Settings are in each individual app.
