Yup, I am. Hehe.  Haven't done it overnight, it's taken me months to do it.  I just type fast and know where to look for things is all.  And since I sleep days and am up all night there is very little else to do but talk to friends on the computer and zone in front of the TV.  This world isn't geared for night owls.  I spend time here while in class too to keep me awake.

i think you can study late at night or early in the morning. well at this time there are no distractions. people are sleeping at this time. or maybe you could study while listening to music. that's will only works if you can handle it. but that is the way i do. do not always study with more than 4 friends. because this will allow you to more talking than studying. that's why i rather to study alone. i only call a friend when i need help. then avoid strees, study with fun. that's all.

I worked all night last night and slept at like 5am, and lo and behold, here I am at the crack of dawn after like 6-7 hours of sleep, while my boyfriend who did not work last night...could probably sleep until 2-3pm....if I let him..\n\nI would call it laziness, lack of motivation to do something in life, or depression (has been linked with oversleeping)

Don't you have to be anywhere? :) If you don't need to be at work or school, make a commitment and volunteer somewhere that will force you to be somewhere at a certain time.  I love to sleep in, and my big indulgence, treat, special thing is reading  magazines, or watching my DVR'd shows (ultimate couch potato) but on days when I don't work, I won't allow myself to do those things unless I get up at a reasonable time and accomplish X amount of things. Then I reward myself with my Vanity Fair, or People Magazine or "Rescue Me", "Boston Legal" etc.  But my next question is: are you really lazy or are you really tired? Because I think a lot of times people NEED their sleep, but don't take it because they think it appears lazy. I need 8 hours a night, and I never get it, so when I have a day off I have to make up for 5 days of 6 hour sleep.

I think you should sleep for aboiut 8 hours during school but on the weekend you can go to bed whenever you want to. I think you should stay up all night on the weeekends if you wantto

HELL NO You're not the only one. I swear, I get up and sometimes (when I have nothing else to do) I'll go back to sleep cause there ain't **** going on EVER in my life. I have school and that's it. No job, no boyfriend, nothing to keep me distracted from thinking so much. AAAAAHHHHH!\n\nHope you can relate. ^__^

I certainly think that it could be depression, but did you know that between the ages of 12 and 24 you NEED 10 to 12 hours of sleep every single night? If you have had something traumatic you may want to look at the second link I sent you, it will give you some information on Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. \n If you think that you may have psychological issues I would suggest talking to your parents or a school counselor and think about getting some therapy, it will help. \n You may also want to try adjusting your sleeping habits to accomodate for needing up to 12 hours of sleep every night. Current research supports what I am telling you, and if you only get 5 hours one night if course you are going to be tired, esspecially if you are only getting to catch up on sleep over the weekends. If you need anything else feel free to email me @  averyanne77@yahoo... Good Luck and I hope everything turns out okay.

A) dont do it when you are tired. maybe you have ADD, and even if you don't you can go to a doctor and get medicated for it. Atteroll works quite well when studying for finals....

You can do a lot of things. You can stay on the answer yahoo for some of the time, but sooner or later you will need to get off in order to get some work done. To make the day go faster, here at school, I go to sleep but I don't think that you are able to do that. I would read a book, believe it or not. Find a book and start reading it. You could make a new myspace web page. Anyways, this is some of the things that I would do.

Set a schedule for yourself and make certain you get enough sleep! I also suggest that if you have time after class, that you immediately begin reading the material while it is fresh in your mind. Review notes BEFORE class. Also, before you go to bed at night, I suggest you write one page for every subject you had a class in that day and then compare it to your notes. If you got something wrong, then correct it. It's a great way to build memory recall. Take ONE day a week for yourself. Don't study that day, just relax and have fun. If you don't, you will have less motivation and memory recall.

Hmmm...that's not too good. Have you been really stressed lately? I'm the same age, and I know that when my parents are really stressing me out or I have an exam coming up or something, I don't sleep as much. Talk to your parents about going to your physician and they should be able to help you. Good luck and hope you get some sleep! =D

I just finished my 2nd semester of law school, and I am also sleeping in that much since last week. I assume that it is our body telling us that it is catching up on the sleep that we deprived it of for so many months. There has been research done on that; they refer to it as a sleep bank. So, as long as you are not emotionally unstable, there is nothing wrong with relaxing your body and busy mind with sleep. As you know, once school kicks in again, we will be sleep deprived again. Enjoy! :o)

Okay since even if you sleep early the next day you feel tired. What you should do is this: \n\nIf you are not tired, you should do more things till you are drop-dead tired say 1, or 2am. Keep doing maths problems like me till late night if you can't sleep. The next morning, you will feel a little more refreshed I don't know why. But at least you would  have done more thngs the night before. \n\nIF YOU feel tired at night, make sure that you sleep a max. of 6 hours. it might be better.

Lazlouz - Without fail, I always say, right I'm going to get up early and do whatever.   Without fail, I can't get out of bed and then the rest of the day is spent catching up, fretting, cursing and generally being disorganised just because of my laziness the night before.   So, don't do as I do, just mark the books and then think how fab you will feel tomorrow.  Go on now, get that marker out, then sleep over a wee bit in the morning - you know it makes sense!!   Wish I could take my own advice   GOOD LUCK
