I can't get to sleep before 12-1am, no matter what I try (short of sleeping pills). During the week thats the usual time I hit the hay, but on Friday/Saturday I rarely sleep before 3-4am.

I prepared this table based on everyone's sleeping pattern. I shall be updating it with comments.
(PS) My advise should not be taken much seriously, as I am not a certified medical practiotioner. However, its based on the knowledge of sleep disturbances, body clock and symptoms and cause of depression.

Here is the table of users with comments

serenity: OK, timing not mentioned
inyourarms: OK
ameribass: OK
Dragonfly: OK
Thorned Rose: sleeping 12-16h can be dangerous
Albus Dumbledore: dangerous for future
ciroxyz: It should be natural, hypnosis & other means again may disturb cycle if you stop it.
Albus Dumbledore: Dangerous for future

well im making most of my last years being a kid.....
since i was 14 ( two years back ) i have been going to sleep around..
02:00 on weeknights...and 05:50 on weekends.....but it doesnt exactly bother me in health aspects..infact it probably has alot to do with my education and how my grades are slipping ...i just think the days should be longer...
I do like my sleep though !!!!

I generally get to sleep around 10/11pm and then wake up again at about 6am! I have too much homework and coursework to do. THat does give me 7-8 hours of sleep a night though.

You think you are not having any health problems now. But as and when you get older, problems will start arising. Your body clock seems to have shifted 4-5 hours. And although you did not mention, but you may be getting late in the morning. You must be feeling lousy. Uninterested in normal worls, girls etc. There starts the problems. You need to rectify your habits soon.

rvalkass has good habits of sleeping early.
I can bet he behaves like normal persons during daytime.

I want to get feedbacks from the persons I commented on (wheter my predictios about their lifestyle are right or not).

hi ebula, i sleep more the eight hours but in two shifts. like in afternoon two hours and eight hours in night. sleeping is world i like most. because i like dreams. i make sure that i have to full fill my dreams. dreams are the world of magic, in dreams whaever uyou wannt to you can do. so i love dreams and for dreams i love sleeping.

I remember that I would always take naps when I was a teenager. I just couldn't get enough sleep. Some people say it's because you are growing, but I ended up pretty short.

I have a horrible sleeping pattern now. I try to get into bed at around 10 but I find that I can't fall asleep until after midnight. Then I wake up at 4:30 in the morning.

I sleep for like 5 hours everyday. On a good day, I can sleep for 8 hours. I'm getting used to it, I can't sleep for more then 8 hours or my head will start hurting. But I catch up on my sleep by taking a nap in the afternoon.

I cant seem to be able to fall asleep before midnight!! And I really need it, because most of the times I can't wake up so I'am always late at school! by the way, gotta try to go to sleep cause I gotta get up at 6 tomorrow:(
