M cameras can have shorter battery life because they want to stay on with IS running. Depends on the model and setups but the eye sensor is a frequent culprit. If your body or bag activates the sensor, the battery will drain. Also, the battery is fairly small.

Whilst all the above is true, I’m always baffled by people like the OP who complain about the battery life of their first mirrorless camera compared to their DSLR, because they overlook the main reason for the difference - the DSLR’s battery life would be much closer to that of the mirrorless if they used the DSLR in its live view mode all the time (which I wouldn’t recommend).
