Commonly known apps that eat battery up?

I've been trying to isolate the battery problem I've been having recently. My 100% charged battery in the morning was dead in 6 hours thanks to a random rogue app. It was light usage too (1 hour of music and a couple of texts). I looked at the battery graph, and it showed the phone was mostly awake the entire period, and that probably killed it. Anyone know what could keep my phone up?
 
One way is to uninstall the apps you don't need one at a time and see if that isolates one.

The biggest battery drain for me is just the synchronization of accounts and keeping WiFi on. You could turn off the sync of accounts and to see if that might be one of the factors.
 
Settings, Power, Battery use on mine shows screen 81%, Cell Standby 7%, wifi 5%, phone idle 5% and android system 2%

Leads me to believe, most of the power went to me screwing round with the phone :D

3g and 4g off, wifi on, almost always.
