Nocturnal, and not liking it!
Hi, everyone! My name is Narae and I have a question. Starting a few weeks ago, I've been going to be around 3 or 4 in the morning and waking up aruond 12 or so, and I hate it! Lately, I've been feeling tired all the time now! But I get like, 12 hours of sleep! I don't understand! School's starting in like, a week and I was wondering what would be a good way to get back to the way I was before I became nocturnal and how do I stop being so sleepy all the time!? Thank you!

I had this problem for a long time. I fixed it by setting a bed time for myself. Even if you aren't tired, got to bed at ten. That means no music, no phone, no texting, no tv. Nothing. Just darkness and quiet and bed. You'll be surprised how easily you fall asleep when there are NO distractions. I know, it's boring. It was hard for me to stop watching TV in bed. But it helped ALOT. Then... Set an alarm to wake you up in the morning at a reasonable time. After a week or two of FORCING better sleep habits on your body, you will get used to them.

Well, what I would do it gradually start going to sleep earlier and earlier. Rather than 1 o clock, tonight go to bed at 12:30. Then tommorow try 12:00, then the next day 11:30 and so forth until you go to bed at the time you're aiming for. Gradually increase because your body needs to adjust to the time changes.
Then, start waking up earlier. You really only need 8-9 hours of sleep a night, but some people (like myself) prefer more. This is fine unless you're getting around 13-14-15ish hours, which can cause your body to get really tired then really hyper and go all out of whack. Trust me, it's not fun.
Fall into a routine once you've started going to bed at your ideal time. Every night go to bed at the same time, and wake up at the same time. Your body should get used to it. Then hopefully, you won't feel like you're wasting your days.
Good Luck! =]

Well, no one can MAKE you go to bed or wake up if you don't want to. Try having an adult or someone give you a curfew- nothing too unreasonable at first. I used to do that too, but I decided I also didn't like wasting my day.
What I did for a while, is no matter what time I went to bed, I would wake up at 9:30 in the morning. After I was continuously sleepy all day, I'd just.. fall asleep earlier, not even on purpose, which made me naturally wake up earlier.
Try that, see if it works.
