In my personal experiances..Years and years have gone by where I couldnt fall alsleep till well past 1AM on a school night, And waking up was even worse, I felt tired throughout the better half of the day, But could not sleep at nights, And this went on for a while.. Till only recently, Ive noticed that I become tired, and ready for bed, at a MUCH more normal time (9:30, 10ish) And the mornings arnt as terrible.Its all related to diet, Not your genetics, I used to drink a pop whenever the occasian where I was offered one, I didnt do it for the caffine or suger, it just tasted better, Now after going for 2 months without softdrinks I feel much better. Just take as much sugar out of your diet as possible, and soon, you wont have NEARLY as much troble sleeping, or waking up, Digg can also be bad for your sleeping habits :p
My parents go to bed at 11pm every night. They have since I was little. And yet, I cannot go to bed at 11pm because I'm never tired. Regardless of the kind of day I've had, I'm WIDE AWAKE at 11pm, every night. It's biological, not learned behavior.
i can never get myself up on time, apparently i can walk across my room, turn off the alarm, both times, and never completely wake up.i literally have no control
I barely drink soft drinks and have tried avoiding caffeine for the past two years, and I still feel crappy all day but then can't sleep at night. It could be Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome, but I haven't gotten the chance to have a sleep study done. People have also suggested that I am just not getting good sleep, so I have trained myself to just sleep longer, which would shift my schedule. I don't have Sleep Apnea, because I rarely snore and am very skinny.Is their any sleep disorder that affects the quality of one's sleep for extremely skinny adults in their twenties, who don't use caffeine? It is either DSPS, or I am at a loss for what it could be.

Anyone can learn to be a morning person. I was one of the most bleary eyed out there till I tried this technique: <a class="user" href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/05/how-to-become-an-early-riser/">http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/05/how-to-become-an-early-riser/</a>It's mostly common sense, but it will work for all but those without clinical sleep disorders. This seriously changed my life. (Yeah I'm being wishy washy, but it's true.)

Of course I meant: ...all but those with clinical... (The 'tired' was already kicking in last night when I screwed up that assertion.)
