Q: I can't sleep i feel like the whole worlds trying to wake me up. I just wanna yell rrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrrr at the top of my lungs. I'm exhausted but just cant get to sleep. What the hecks wrong with me. Oh btw i'm 14. I may just pull an all nighter....
A: LOL!! Omg! I'm in the exact same boat as you on this. I tend to be a huge night owl and won't fall asleep until 4 am sometimes! I was the queen of pulling all nighters in college. During my last semester, I functioned on only four hours of sleep every night cause I was so busy with projects and my internship. Plus, I have a job. You might have something called Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome. This is a newly named disorder where the biological clock is out of sync with "normal" hours. The body doesn't produce melatonin at the right time and this causes the person to have a difficult time falling asleep before 2 am. I have Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome and I diagnosed myself, even though I'm not a doctor. Since I'm a very disciplined person who can still get up early when necessary, the disorder doesn't cause me to be late for work and school; however, it can be annoying to my family if I accidentally wake them up in the middle of the night snacking on something. Good luck to you and try to get some sleep.
