Over 40% battery drain overnight doing nothing on the Nexus 5.

It can also be widgets and on mine the cell radios do drain the battery faster than if I have data off an airplane mode on. You are right, we need an easier way to find the culprits!

For me it was the Facebook app and dashclock widget. I could care less about Facebook but I really like dashclock....

I didn't install Facebook since I don't use it much. Sometimes my battery does seem to drain faster and when I look it just says Android OS or such. I haven't had the super draining problem luckily, yet.

I have almost entertained the idea of implementing an MS-Windows approach and having it somehow automatically reboot every day at night or something (I assume there is some app that can do that). What a disgusting thought. BTW- WTF doesn't Android have a "REBOOT" option? Why do I have to stand there and wait for the phone to shut down, then press and hold power to turn it back on every time? Granted, the shutdown and power-on sequence doesn't take that long on a modern phone (stark contract to years past) but it is very annoying. And there isn't even an app that can offer a real/nonroot reboot.

I reboot mine by holding the power button down for ~10 seconds or so. This also works on my Nexus 7 tablet...

Technically that is a forced power cycle, not a reboot. It is the same as ripping the power cord out of your computer while it is running. It is not a proper shutdown and can lead to filesystem and database corruption. Not a good idea.
