I have mine set not to sleep. It seemed counterintuitive to me at first, but I think the theory is that it takes more power for it to turn on and off than it does for it to just sit idle.

I leave my wifi and gps on all the time. When I leave my house, 3G takes over, when I come home, wifi comes back. I have it set to remember my unsecure network at the office that IT set up for us and a few other networks I'm in range of every now and then. I am getting great battery life, as are my wife and kid with their phones with the same set up.

And as far as the OP goes, that change made the most difference in my battery life and I notice no difference in getting mail (gmail app), updates, etc.
