Yes.

if so, is it reasonable that while asleep for 5 or so days, the battery goes from 3 or 4 bars down to one?

Yes, entirely reasonable.

Also, if that is just putting the reader to sleep, how do I turn it completely off. (Dumb question I know)

Slide and hold the power switch until a message on the screen asks you if you want to shut the machine down. Say "Yes".

Also, someone once told me if you left the reader on whatever page you finished on,it theoretically shouldn't drain the battery as it is e-ink and doesn't need to be processing.....but I'm guessing that was a lie?

It was certainly ill-informed. Whether or not the person was deliberately and knowingly lying to you, I'll leave to your judgement. The
screen uses no power while it's displaying a static image, but the Reader is a computer and, like any other computer, the CPU, RAM, etc, all use power.
