Any water heater looses some heat . The idea is to shut it off at times whan tou are very unlikely to need / use HW .
For instance , turn it off at nite , after your regular bed time . Turn it off early enough , before you regularly get up , to allow it to bring the water up to temp , so you can have HW for your shower .
The schedule can be made more complicated than that .
God bless
