Well, Lateyly I have been having tired issues, I am always tired, All I wan to do is sleep. I go to sleep round 2-3 am and get up at 1 30 ish, and I find it hard to get up at that time even. Throught the day I find it a chore to do simple task that I should not feel tired. My mom thinks I am anmic, meaning I dont have enough iron to keep me going, Does anyone have any other sulutions as to what might be wrong with me?

We all need iron in our diets, and I am wondering if you eat enough. Iron comes from red meat, spinach and other green leafy vegetables, and molasses. Do you eat enough of these? If not you can take an iron supplement. They can cause constipation though.
Dehydration could also be a cause of lethargy (lack of energy) do you get enough fluids. If you only drink caffine drinks and diet sodas, they act like 'diuretics', which cause you to urinate more and loose fluids. You need to drink lots of plain old water.
YOu could also have a virus like mono. You would have to be diagnosed by a doctor to determine that.
And finally, you are trying to mess up your body's natural circadian clock by going to bet so late and getting up so late. YOur body is not reaching REM sleep, which is the deep sleep we need to feel rested. For most people getting 7 to 8 hours sleep during the night, when it is dark, is what our bodies need.
You can try any of these things and see if it makes a difference.
