Damn u had me going there for a while.
It's not really normal to pass out at 2am only to wakeup at 7am. If you gave yourself the time, you should be perfectly capable of sleeping 7 to 8 hours.
It does seem like you get your 8 hours of sleep through your night sleep, and your nap, but not getting a good, long night's sleep can have negative long term side effects you should probably be worrying about.
You will need to force yourself not to take those naps. The naps is what prevents you from being able to sleep until 2am in the night.
Secondly, you need to tackle the ACTUAL cause of your insomnia. It can be one of many things:
1) A poor bed or bad sleeping environment (lights? sudden noises? inability to relax?)
2) Stress causes insomnia. If you think you have stress in your life, try to find ways to relieve it. Think about your stress. Are you stressed at school? Did you just start university? Maybe you're in your final year of high school and your marks are most important? Are you having relationship issues (family or S.O)? Most people don't think they have any stress but they do, and don't actually realize it until they really think about it.
3) Depression also causes insomnia. Again, you're the only one who can diagnose if you're experiencing depression but if you are, insomnia is often a sign that goes hand in hand
4) Occasionally it can just be a medical condition where your brain does not produce enough Melotonin (sleep hormone) to get you to fall asleep. That's pretty rare though so I wouldn't worry too much about that.
