Can you force sleep somehow?

Go to menu > settings > about phone > battery. Now look at Awake Time vs Up Time. This is the key to your idle usage. If your awake time and Up time are really close to eachother, and your Awake time doesn't reflect how much you've actually had the phone with the screen on then something is keeping it from going to sleep. First 2 days I had the phone my awake time and up time were practically the same. Now this meter does read from the last time you reset the phone. So you may want to restart the phone to get it to 0 and go from there.
The best tool to use to check what apps are keeping it awake are Spare Parts. You can download this from the marketplace and you don't need to be rooted. Once you open the app go to battery history > click on other usage > and change it to partial wake usage. This will list out all the apps keeping your phone from sleeping when you turn the screen off. A few people had a problem with the calendar keeping the phone awake including myself. This turned out to be caused by putting in your flikr account information. Removing that solved it for me and the others.
