Help Battery Problems

I currently have a vm s3 and am having problems with my battery. It is about a week old but the battery does not seem to last. Overnight, with wifi on, my battery drops about 15%. is that normal?? Screen seems to be taking up an awful lot of battery. On a normal day, I charge the phone about twice.

My screen 9% highest is Google Services 43% Android OS 15% everything else under 9%

After a full charge go to bed and let it do what it is doing. In the morning before charging get a screen shot of the battery stats and post here so we can see what is happening.
 
Do you recommend I shut off wifi and mobile data overnight?
If you go to "Settings", "Wi-Fi", then menu (bottom left key) "Advanced", you will see the option "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep", set it to "Never", this will disable when the screen is off. I always set Mobile Data to off, just switch it on when needed, it eats my battery. Phil
