Fixing MacBook Battery Drain During Sleep
General ·đźŤŽ Back in the day, you could just close your MacBook, unplug it, leave it for a week, then open it and notice nothing: battery charged, apps right where you left them.
Recently I noticed I can’t even leave it overnight: 0% battery in the morning — what the hell?
Turns out there are some non-obvious settings you should turn off:
- Power nap: why do you need to check email and other crap while sleeping?
- Screen time: convenient if you want to observe yourself, but I never got any benefit from it;
(all of this is in System Settings, easiest to find through search)
If you want to maximize battery savings, turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Now I sleep peacefully, even my old Intel MacBook doesn’t drain.
