Scotty Loveless, a former Apple Store Genius Bar employee, has posted 'The Ultimate Guide to Solving iOS Battery Drain'.
Loveless says, "99.9% of the time it is not actually iOS that is causing your battery to drain quickly. I guarantee you that if you erased your phone and there were no apps or email on it, it would last for ages."
First, you should determine whether you are experiencing battery drain. Head over to Settings > General > Usage and check out your times. Your device usage time should be significantly lower than your standby time. If that is not the case, you likely have a problem.
Loveless outlines 8 steps you can take to try and identify the issue. Check out the full guide at the link below...

everything that makes a smartphone smart sucks energy. it's to the point that larger battery is needed or better battery chemistry(not here yet).
i'm willing to actually have a thicker phone so my phone can last 1 full day with power using. no i don't want a piggy back case. hopefully the newer wider iPhone will help with the battery life. the smartphone is hardly a phone anymore it seems.

Follow those steps. Before going to bed, close all apps and shut down your phone. Plug in the charging cord and the phone will reboot. Leave it until morning. Only open the apps you need and avoid using Facebook. You'll end up with 50% by the end of the day even with camera and IM use.
