Don’t know if it’s because
Is this sentence correct and something a native speaker would say?
I don’t know if it’s because I am sick that I want to go to sleep or if it’s because I’m tired.
Thank you

anonymous I don’t know if it’s because I am sick that I want to go to sleep , or if it’s because I’m tired. This is OK. Personally I would suggest that, in writing, you add the comma, but opinions may vary.

- For consistency, you probably should contract the first "I am" to "I'm", in line with the contractions used throughout the rest of the sentence.
