Check the battery usage statistics at Settings--Power management--Battery usage. See which apps have used the battery most. Also read this FAQ page to know more on reducing battery usage: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/Battery-time-and-enhancement-features/m-p/347874#U347874

Were data, wifi, bluetooth, etc. turned off during the night or they were on? Do you use a task killer or an antivirus?

The screen shown at anytime to have used 65% is normal. But just tap on the battery graph in the Battery usage screen and you will see a more detailed graph with information on when the screen was on, and when the phone was in sleep and was awake. If your phone was staid awake during a large part of the night, then some program was probably running in the background keeping the phone awake, it could be social networking apps, antivirus, task killer, third pary alarm clock, etc.

Update availability depends on a lot of factors, be sure to check out this page: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/The-software-update-collection-topic/m-p/348066#U348066 You will only have to wait till you receive a notification on PC companion or your phone.

Wireless, you mean a bluetooth device? It will consume battery, but not like browsing or gaming, as screen here is not on.

Turning mobile data is going to be safe, you just won't be connected to the internet, but will save battery. Using wireless will consume battery. And yes, there are a lot of services and apps on Xperia phone that can be safely disabled (that is, if you don't use them).

Factory reset will turn your phone like it was when you bought it new.
