I've noticed that when my Galaxy Tab 2 7" is asleep, the battery will drain about 10% overnight. This is with WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc, all disabled. So even if I don't use the tablet at all, a fully charged battery will drain flat in about 5 days. My iPad, on the other hand, seems to use essentially no battery while asleep.

Is what I'm seeing normal for Android? Is there anything I can do to reduce the battery drain (other than turn it off when not in use)?
