Tener sueño = being tired, sleepy.

Tener que ver con = related to.

No tener arreglo = No turning back.

No tener pies ni cabeza = meaningless, nonsense.

Tener la culpa de = Guilty of.

All in one: Tengo sueño, eso tiene que ver con que siempre duermo poco, no tengo arreglo. Mi actitud no tiene ni pies ni cabeza, y yo tengo la culpa de eso.
