I actually measured this on saturday night. It was at 51 watts.

The only things that were actively running were the cable modem and the wifi router both of which never shut off unless we're out of town. Unfortunately it's not uncommon for us to use the tablet or phone on wifi first thing in the morning so turning those off and then back on in the morning isn't going to work.
