    Can this be a good & reliable option:
    Code:
    	OSCCON=48 ' reducing Osc speed before going to sleep
    	PAUSE 1
        INTCON = %00001000 ' global ints disabled, int on change enabled
        @ SLEEP            ' put PIC to sleep
    	OSCCON=96 ' back to normal speed

    I'd like to see your schematic to understand where you might be losing current. The PIC cannot consume so much in sleep mode.
