(Incidentally, I assume you never switch your tablets off?)

If you want to isolate the problem you might want to try reinstalling the firmware. After the reinstallation, don't alter any of the settings and don't install any apps. See how long the tablet lasts when it's still "plain vanilla".
I installed OS2008 pretty soon after I got the N800, and then didn't install any apps for a few days and during that time I still experienced this problem. Even now, I've only have a couple of apps like Evince and fbreader. It really isn't the lack of battery life that bothers me, as sometimes I can get a few days out of it with light use. What gets me is I've never even seen a low battery message. I'll just pick it up and the screen won't turn on. I know it isn't completely dead, because the welcome screen will pop on for an instant like it is trying to boot up.

And no, I never turn the N800 off. I just lock the screen and generally try to make sure I'm in offline mode.
