One way to test that should be to take the "sleep cover" out of the equation, but put something like a cleaning cloth on the screen once the device is asleep. That means there's definitely something touching the screen, definitely no magnet-induced sleep/wake factor, and thus the two possible variables are split up. A drain in that context decisively points to the screen; no drain would call for testing with a pocketless sleep cover (or magnets to simulate one).

Has anyone compared notes on their sleep covers' brand names?
Just an additional point, the cover my wife uses is not a sleepcover, it doesn't have any magnets. Just a leather book type cover so it shouldn't trigger any sleep/wake behaviour, or at least I wouldn't have expected it to.
