I charged my S5 last night before going to bed a little after midnight. Battery 99%.

Woke up a bit before 7am and battery was 92%. It was in theater mode so the screen should have been off overnight.

Dunno, I charge mine overnight.

~1% battery per hour seems pretty good though. It's still maintaining a bluetooth connection to your phone, doing any background app refreshes, etc.

I imagine you could also just turn it off if you didn't want to use any battery. Or put it on the charger and wake up to it fully charged.
 
Yes, sometimes I see a lot more than that even in DND and theatre mode.
 
I get about the same. 100% around 10.30pm, DND and theatre mode on, wear watch to bed for alarm, usually 92-93% when I get up at 5.30am. It does seem to drop quicker through the day. I was up at 6 this morning, battery was on 92%, it's now 7.30 and it's on 87%.

AOD on, brightness low, hey Siri and noise monitoring off, background refresh off, location on. Removed weather complication as it seemed to be a factor in battery drain (still testing that idea). Using Solar Dial face.

I follow the exact same routine. I charge up for about an hour or two to 100% and put my watch back on right before bed. Always set it to theater mode as I don't want to risk screen burn in over time as well as being a waste of battery. I usually average 8-10% battery drain overnight, not sleep apps going or anything either. I'm curious if it's the heart rate sensor eating up chunks overnight? It's pretty consistent for me, AW5 running 6.0.1.

Edit: I sleep from 10:30/11ish pm to 5:30am.
