656 Power Issues?

I used to rarely see the red power light in 653.  My laptop would go to sleep and be fine. 

Now I see it all the time.  It seems like 656 just doesn't let the sleep mode run.  Anyone find this?

I went to 656 from 650, and in both cases I've only seen the red light as an indicator of low power. When my battery percentage drops below 15%, I see the red light.

I've been able to run the battery down a bit further, but once it reaches about 4%, it will power down by itself.

I didn't think that sleep mode was enabled yet in 656... I thought that was in one of the upcoming builds. (Did 653 have a sleep mode? I skipped over that one and went directly to the next build.) If it does have a sleep mode, do we have to do anything to enable it?

653 had an awesome sleep mode.  I updated to 653 first thing, so I never got to see my XO in 650. 

This has become really annoying.  I never worried about the power before.  I will have to be more careful.
