Hey, She might not know where to get food. Some tricks are to put the bowl right below here she perches at her basking spot. If that doesn't work, you may want to put "too many" crickets in there during the day for free range, and take as many as you can find out at night. If the cham is on a downward spiral, food is more important than a cricket chew at night. If you do this, leave lots of food for the crickets to eat everywhere so the ones you can't find will nibble on it, and not on her.
Also, I feel there is too much emphasis on drip systems at a lot of pet stores. Babies like to lick moisture off leaves, and as long as you let them and their cage dry off before you shut down the lights for the night, its OK to spray them...sometimes that (was) the only way I could get them to drink. Babies need water more often than adults and don't always figure out drip systems if you're using one. If you don't have one, go to Home Depot and get a small pump sprayer (just like a windex bottle). The sleeping may be brought on by dehydration...not starvation.
