grammar - It has more to do with that I am lazy than that I am tired


Are all these sentences below correct and interchangeable?



1) It has more to do with that I am lazy than that I am tired.



2) It has more to do with the fact that I am lazy than that I am tired.


3) It has more to do with the fact that I am lazy than the fact that I am tired.


4) It has more to do with that I am lazy rather than that I am tired.


5) It has more to do with the fact that I am lazy rather than that I am tired.


6) It has more to do with the fact that I am lazy rather than the fact that I am tired.



(4. 5. and the 6. sentences are the same as the first three sentences except that I changed "than" to "rather than")


One more question: Are these sentences correct and interchangeable?



7) It has to do with the fact that I am lazy rather than that I am tired.



8) It has to do with that I am lazy rather than that I am tired.



My opinion on these eight sentences: I guess I have to use the phrase "the fact that" after the word "with", but I think I can use the word "that" after "than", and I guess it is better to use "that" after "than" or "rather than" instead of using "the fact that". Also I think "rather than" and "than" are interchangeable in the first six sentences I gave. What do you think?
