But after everything was back as I had it before wiping the phone I immediately saw evidence of the phone sleeping. Then last night I plugged the phone into my laptop as usual and let it charge overnight. When I woke up the phone hadn't slept a bit...nearly 90% awake time. But as of this morning since I've taken it off the laptop it has been sleeping regularly having dropped to 83% in just a few hours. So there is some truth to this at least on some phones. I don't see an issue with this since it's charging anyways but I assume it could possibly prolong the charging time a bit.

@elefntkpr: I'm sure you see it, but your phone stayed awake while it was plugged in (to usb or outlet) and it looks like your phone was sleeping regularly after you unplugged it. I think this is a common occurrence, but is so stupid on the part of HTC. I've noticed that it takes forever for the phone to charge to change the indicator light from orange to green.
What would be great for the sake of this original posting, if your phone is still sleeping regularly (evidenced by a steady drop of %), do soft resets and see if your phone still sleeps regularly when sitting idle. What else happens with each soft-reset is the Total Awake and Sleep timer will refresh to zero.
If your phone is like mine, the soft-resets will trigger your phone to never sleep. Freaking Hero insomnia--My Hero is downloading a hidden methamphetamine widget from Market. If it doesn't happen, your phone is great and mine really needs to be exchanged. The Total Awake and Sleep timer are 100% and the timers are perfectly synced after plenty of soft-resets.
