Yes sleep mode draws some power, but it should last more than a couple of days in sleep when you're not using it. I rarely shut mine off and it downloads a newspaper a day, and I read the newspaper and 1-2 hours on top of that and I get 4-5 days out of it. 1-2 days just isn't right.
If you're leaving the WIFI on continuously OTOH, then all bets are off.
