    When I wake the device from being in sleep overnight it is down to less than 15% charge (from full).

    This doesn't seem right - I'd expect to get the same drain if I was actually using it all night. I found a post that suggested disabling connected standby but it seems that turned out not to be a solution.

    I would guess something is waking the laptop. Is there any way to tell if this is actually happening?

    I'm betting that your computer isn't going into standby. How are you trying to put it into standby?

    I'd try forcing it into standby (through the power-down menu), rather than re lying on something like closing the laptop lid. Also, disconnect all USB devices before you do that, in case wake-on-USB is in effect.

    You might also want to disconnect all network connections (either unpkug Ethernet, or go into airplane mode for WiFi), in case you have wake-on-lan enabled.

    I'm suspecting that your laptop isn't going to sleep, for one of a few reasons:

    1). Your laptop isn't truly going to sleep, because of a misconfigured setting (e.g. you misconfigured what happens if you close the lid).

    2) you have some wake-on setting enabled, like wake-on-lan or wake-on-usb
