I used to have the same problem in college. I did not get enough sleep, and when I did, it was too much (mostly to catch up, or out of plain old laziness).
Your question has pretty much been answered, but there is one thing to add. Quality of sleep is often more important than quantity. If you are lying in bed tossing and turning for a couple hours, and only get five or six hours of good sleep, then the hours spent lying awake do not count. However, if you consistently get more than eight or nine hours of sound sleep- as you usually do- then you are getting too much sleep. Your body is too used to being asleep, and that can cause you to feel tired and run down all day.
It would help if I knew how old you are. Teenagers generally need more sleep than adults. The hours of sleep you need per night depend mostly on your age and lifestyle. It will be difficult for you to get out of your current sleep cycle at first, but once you do, you will feel so much better. Just try getting up earlier than usual, and force yourself to do something active, even a walk around the neighborhood. Try going to bed on time, and waking up early- and keep that routine. You will feel a lot healthier and more energized. And to add, eat well and make sure you get proper nutrition- that can also play a role in either making you feel tired and sluggish, or energized.
According to a search, teens need between 8 1/2 to 9 1/4 hours of sleep per night:

I am here to give honest advice, when I feel I have something to contribute. I try to be as empathetic and understanding as I can, as I know that the way something is said is as important as the message itself.
I usually advise on love/relationships, friendship and family issues, nutrition, and health (mental and physical). If I feel I can help out, there's not a whole lot I am unwilling to answer. Ask away!
