OK, so everyone, I've said this a hundred times, but I'll say it again. ANY and mean ANY time you have an upgrade, ESPECIALLY a major one to the OS, you should factory reset your phone. I have updated my Note 4 and my wife's S6 to M and have not had a single reboot issue, nor a battery drain issue (I have a screen shot which I won't post, but it says "2 days + on battery, 5% left).
While I cannot guarantee this next statement, it seems to make sense. Your phone is a computer. It uses a file system to manage its onboard items. This is here, that is there, etc. When you upgrade your OS, it resets the file system. Now things may not be where/what the new system is looking for- but it still tries to execute that command. Hence, battery drain and sometimes even reboot when it really gets fooschnockered.
Factory restting your phone resets the file system to find those "long lost items and/or to update your applications to match your new OS. The dreaded "Optimizing Apps" screen.
If you need assistance FR'ing your phone. Just google it- it's a VERY easy process which requires you to shut your phone down and restart it using (simultaneously pressing) Volume UP, Home and Power keys.
Trust me, you'll be glad you did. Come on in- the water's fine!
