MacOs catalina drains battery in sleep (MBP)

So I have a Macbook pro 13” Mid 2012 non retina. Last week I updated to catalina. All of my performance and everything looked fine. But when I woke up mu battery almost completely drained itself while being in sleep mode. I never had this issue before in other versions of Mac OS. My battery performance overall is just normal, when using the macbook it doesn’t seem that my battery life is any shorter...

I did reset the SMC. And it did not help.

hope someone can help me out..

My 2016 MBP doesn't seem to go to sleep and drains my battery and gets warm when in my laptop bag. In Mojave I would close the laptop, stick it in my bag, and it would go to sleep and hardly drain any battery. Now with Catalina, it seems to constantly stay on and gets very warm in my bag. Battery drains right down pretty quickly when it hardly did that in Mojave. That's what I get for upgrading so soon.

Just had it in sleep mode for 28 hours straight. Still 100% charge. Looks the hibernate mode 25 worked to fix my sleep drain issue.
