I have observed many sleep issues with Mojave, on two distinct laptops: a 2015 13" retina MBP and a brand new 2017 13" no touch bar retina MBP.

On the first machine, the battery would often lose about 30 % of charge over a night, which is much more than I was used to when it was running Sierra or High Sierra. I tried to reset the PRAM and SMC, with no effect.

On the second one, the battery would often lose about 5 % of its charge level over a night, which also seems a bit high to me. Sometimes, the charge loss is not significant (maybe 1 or 2%). And last night, there was a dramatic loss that I never observed before: in fact, when I woke up at 7.30am, I found the machine very hot with fan running at full speed, and battery at 15% (it was charged yesterday). The laptop was not responsive and I had to reboot it. Upon investigation, I see some messages in the console at 11.30pm yesterday, that start with some bluetooth related messages, that I quote below (I cut parts as they are ways too long to post):

I think I am looking at several issues here, but am not sure where to start. Any idea or suggestion would be very helpful, I am now determined to take these issues one by one and make my Mojave laptops behave again.
