How about giving us a more thorough description of the problem and how it started?

Have the battery and charging system checked. Could be defective alternator.

simply because I JUST, i mean JUST did this less than 12 hours ago to my car- try climbing in your trunk and having someone close it on you. your trunk light may be staying on (mine was, and I was ready to go batty over the DAILY draining of my battery).
Otherwise, try a load test- look for a parasitic drain. this is when there is something pulling power off of the battery when it shouldn't be (when key is off). you will need an ammeter for this.
run the ammeter between positive battery terminal and disconnected positive battery cable.
if it reads more than around 2mA- you need to start pulling fuses till you find the one that makes it drop and there's your problem
