I'm wondering how long it takes the Air in sleep mode to actually change into the 30-day sleep mode, where the battery can last a month. Does anyone know?

It seems to me, whenever I open my Air after a night unplugged, whilst asleep, the battery percentage drops about 5% or so, if not a little more. If I do the math, that's 20 days-ish, give or take.

How does this 30-day sleep thing actually work?
 
With my old 2010 model, whenever I'd put it to sleep and wake it up the next morning 8 or so hours later, I'd only notice about 1-2% drained...so hopefully these new 2011 models hold up the same.

It goes into deep sleep after 60 minutes of sleep

sounds about right based on my 2010 air
