How can I find what app is keeping my GN "awake"?

So the first day or two that I had my GN I had very good battery, however I had not had a chance to really set it up/play with it because I had been very busy at work.

I was finally able to set it up/install the apps I wanted etc and now my battery is underwhelming.

I remember checking the battery info under settings before I set it up and I've checked it recently. The main thing that I notice to be a difference from before to now is the "Awake" bar. Before I set it up I noticed that the "Awake" bar had intermittent blue lines like the "Screen On" bar or "GPS On" bar. Now after setting it up I see that the "Awake" bar is just a solid blue line (indicating that it's been "awake" the entire day).

So it seems to me like there must be some app that is keeping the GN perpetually "awake" and that that is having a negative effect on my battery. When I go into settings/battery I see a list of apps, but none really look like they're destroying battery.

So is there any way to figure out what the culprit app is short of trial and error by uninstalling one app at a time?

This is what is listed in the Battery section:

Android System : 33%
Screen: 20%
Cell Standby: 14%
Phone Idle: 12%
Media Server: 5%
Spotify: 5%
Android OS: 4%
Phone: 2%
Gmail: 2%
Google Services: 2%

Went from 100% full to 20% in just under 6 hours

GPS bar: very little
Wifi bar: very little
Awake bar: Completely full blue
Screen on bar: pretty low also

Thanks for any ideas!
 
I just noticed the same thing this morning. Phone dropped from 97% to 56% between 6am and 8am, while sitting in a gym locker with sync off! It appears it was all the Android OS staying awake. Have read on other sides that is the problem. Only fix I've seen so far is rebooting, which seems to provide temp fix (haven't tried it yet).

So unfortunately--no ideal solutions, but the problem I think is the Android OS.
