I'm kinda worried b/c this is the first night i've seen her do this anyways, my girlfriend thinks b/c i move so much [bleep] around and constantely rearranging her tank i'm stressing her out, anyways i fed her yesterday pretty good like she ate a lot and shes only like 2 or 3 months old anyways she was all peachy all night real active and temps are all perfect and everything is set anyways when me and my girlfriend woke up shes been sleeping outside of her hide on the floor and just laying there all day now it's about 7pm shes still there and shes slowely moving her tail around like real feline cat like and it's in the air and slowely moving around and shes still laying down on her stomach and her eyes are open, and it's just strange behavior i've never seen she ate one cricket tonight but i had to hand feed it b/c she wouldn't go after it. so i can't figure out if i should leave her alone or what... opinions plz

Let her alone.. leopard geckos all have their off days..

And quit rearranging her tank so much - it is a stressful thing because she's constantly to relearn everything.

The tail waving is usually a defence posture, sounds like she could be upset or moody. Just give her a few days of peace and quiet, and dont change things around, see it that calms her down, best of luck,

Well, it's been about 2 or 3 nights and shes kinda active not as much but shes not acting as strange i'll feed her but only when she comes out of her hide so i will completely leave her alone all day as soon as shes back to normal i've gotta install that 2nd level w/ a ramp and all i'm just keep pissin' her off though haha but this is the last thing i'm gonna add to the tank and i'm DONE! but i'm gonna go crazy if my cricket colony keeps chirping at 4am every night Thanks for the comments guys!
