Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
Exercise, eat healthily, and nap when you come home from school.
Exercising 3 times a week for 15-30 minutes ins't a lot, but it really helps wakes your body up anbd gets it to work in a way that can handle things like more exercise, and, of course, staying awake during the day.
Eating different things actually helps a lot, which makes sense because food is ultimately where you get your energy. If you eat lots of food like candy, chocolate, white bread, or other things that have lots of simple carbs, you will have a lot of energy for a little bit and then crash. Contrary to what you would think, things like energy drinks and coffee can actually make you more tired because they make it more difficult to sleep at night. For food, try to eat things that will stay in your system longer like whole wheat bread and lots of leafy greens.
Napping - well, this makes sense. If you are going to bed late anyway, a half hour nap will help you recharge after school so you can focus on doing your work, sending emails, and doing whatever you do during spare time. Watch out, though, because sleeping for longer during a nap might keep you up at night.

Simply..
Eat healthy (5 a day). Drink lots of water.
Avoid sugary foods/drinks. They'll make you crash.
Nap if you need to.
If you want to learn to go to bed earlier, it's quite easy but takes a few days to regulate: Keep active through the day, don't drink caffeine, do not use computers for a while before your bed time, read - it makes you tired, drink a hot drink/have a hot bath a little bit before to relax you...
You just need to sort out your body clock.

Have you tried going to the vitamin shop? They have countless supplements that can really make a great impact on your day to day routine. They have lots of safe and natural sleep aids that can help you get to sleep earlier so that you get a full night's sleep. Also, they have a ton of vitamins that can give you a quick energy boost. I take a supplement called Emergen-C, and not only does it boost your immune system, but it gives you a quick boost of energy.
Also, B vitamins work wonders on your mood and your energy levels. I highly recommend going to your local doctor and getting a monthly B-12 shot. It lasts all month long and the effects are amazing. You get sick less often. You feel better and more well rested. You feel more energized and alert. A lot of celebrities (Madonna, Justin Timberlake - pretty much any performer whose job requires them to have lots of energy) swear by B-12 injections. It's a wonderful, safe solution to your problem and it's all natural.
Good luck, and I hope this helps!
