Sleeping troubles.
I think I have a problem with sleeping, for about 4 months now, I can't get to sleep until about 2-3am, even on school nights. I'm always tired in the day at school, and I find it difficult to concentrate in lessons because I keep wishing the time would go faster so I can go home to bed. Because after school, when I get home, I go to bed at about 4pm and then wake up to do my homework at 8pm. I'm wide awake after then so I can't sleep until 3am. I've tried staying awake after school, but I was still wide awake until 3am. I can't keep not sleeping after school because I'm too tired to do homework when I get home, and if I don't do my homework I'll get loads of detentions. My mum thinks I should go to the doctors, but I'm refusing, because I'm terrified that they'll do a blood test on me, the thought makes me feel sick. How can I get into a normal sleeping pattern without going to the doctors, and if I have to go to the doc's, am I allowed to refuse to have a blood test? Thanks =]

Don't take naps when you get home from school. Do some exercise instead. You'll find it helps you to rest much better.

Sleeping pills are a bad idea here. Most tranqulizers keep you from having the kind of sleep you need, which is REM (Rapid Eye Movement). They stop you from having dreams, so you're essentially having a "dead sleep" - A sleep where you don't get rested as much.
Sleeping for hours after school affects your sleep habits. A healthy nap should not last longer than 45 minutes. Napping for more than 2 hours is actually more harmful than helpful. Your internal clock has gotten used to this and that is why you cannot sleep when you really need to.
So, after school, only sleep for about an hour, and go to bed at a decent time. It will take a while for your body to adjust, but eventually you'll fall back into a normal sleeping habit.

Well sometimes it has something to do with your eating habits. If you eat good, and don't eat alot of sugar then you should be able to fall asleep easier..What I do is take medicine for it..I just bought some kind of medicine at walmart..but thats my advice..Good luck!

I've had this same problem. When you get home from school do your homework instead of sleeping right away. Or, instead of sleeping for four hours take a power nap (about 30 minutes). If you're still tired just go to bed early, around 9 maybe.
Sleeping aides do help, but they're easy to get addicted to so I don't really recommend them.
If you do have to go to see a doctor you can refuse to let them take blood, but that's one of the best ways for a doctor to find out what's wrong with you. Having your blood drawn is not very painful (it feels like a tiny pin prick)and takes no time at all. Just close your eyes and it'll be over before you know it. good luck!
