I am very messed up when it comes to my sleeping habits. This has been going on since I was around 12 years old, and years later I'm finally beginning to realize how stressful it's becoming on my life.

I have had trouble sleeping my entire life, and I suppose that I can be labeled as an insomniac, and I have multiple problems when it comes to my sleeping habits. I don't see them as a huge problem, but my mother sees it affecting my school work, though I deny it.

1. I can not get to sleep -- I go to bed only when I feel I am tired enough to get to sleep. As soon as I get into bed all feelings of being tired will go away, and I will feel very wired. This causes me to get out of bed for an hour, and then I'll repeat the cycle. I do not sleep during the day, and I still find myself uip until 5:00am every night. It also seems like I NEVER FEEL TIRED! Even when I've been up for 20 hours, I will feel just as awake as I do after a full night of sleep. I know what it feels like to be "exhausted", but I don't know what it feels like to be "tired".

2. My biological clock is seemingly nonexistent -- I know that there are tried and true methods to "reset" your biological clock, however I can't seem to do anything to help mine. I wake up when wake up, and that's always how it works. When I DO fall asleep, I will not wake up for alarm clocks, or anything. It will take someone shaking me to wake up, or until my body feels like it's time to wake up. As you can imagine, this creates problems when it comes to work and school schedules.

Is there someone out there that can help me with my sleep issues before they affect my life even more than they already do??

most bad sleep habits stem from high frequency light being processed by your eyes (computer screen, etc.) Our bodies are wired to start producing melatonin when the sun's going down.

What you need to do is turn off the computer/tv at a reasonable hour, exercise in the day, eat right, and not take naps in the day. If you are willing to get up at a reasonable hour every day (the same time every day), and allot a certain period of time as 'sleep' every night (going to bed at the same time every night - don't think about sleep, that'll come with time). After about a week or two of being really tired your body WILL get into a proper rhythm and you'll fall asleep when you go to bed. If you take naps in the day, kiss your burgeoning rhythm goodbye.

This is the same advice that just about every 'insomniac' gets. You. Are. No. Different.
