MacBook Pro dies when lid is closed

My MacBook Pro is having a problem where when I close the lid and come back to it later, it loses all of its battery. It can go from 80% to 0% whilst the lid is closed. I have turned off power nap and restarted my computer, but the problem has persisted.

MacBook Pro 13”, macOS 10.14

There are a couple things you can try that may be able to help. I would recommend you read these articles and use them to help troubleshoot the issue.
