How far do you drive it?
Are the grounds in good shape?
Especially the main battery cable and headlight grounds.
Do you have an aftermarket sound system?
Do you have a "grounding" kit installed?
Some people accidentally bypass the ground sensor.
Did you check for codes?

Sounds like a parasitic drain... time to hit google and strategically pull fuses/measure fuse voltage drop to find the source.

Battery could be going bad and check your battery terminals for corrosion and make sure they are tight. A loose negative terminal can cause all types of problems, as I know from personal experience.
