It sound like you are paranoid because of being sleep deprived! Try not to use any caffeine after 5pm and see if this makes a difference. Take a warm shower or bath before going to bed. Turn off all electronics at least an hour before going to bed. If you continue to have problems sleeping, ask your mom to make an appointment with your pediatrician or family doctor for a check up.
Take care and let us know if we can help you again!

You're a freak. Get in the kitchen!
Does this happen even when you've had enough sleep? If so, you should talk to your doctor. If this is the first time its happened, then for sure its just because you are sleep deprived. Your body needs rest, right now!! This isn't good for you to stay up all night. If you want to set a good sleep schedule, just start tomorrow, but go to bed NOW. The best way to set a good sleep schedule is to stay up all day. But you stayed up all night. This isn't good to keep staying up now even though you are having headaches and getting scared. I think you should start it later and do it gradually. Like, sleep now for about 8 hours. When you wake up, stay active. Exercise, clean, do homework, don't sit and watch tv for now. Then go to sleep as early as you can tonight, but it will probably be late because you slept all day. But that's okay. When you wake up tomorrow, look out the window at the daylight and then stay up and active ALL DAY and by tomorrow night you'll be plenty tired to go to bed about 10pm. I have this sleep schedule problem and I know what works best. Good luck. Eat something now and go to bed.
Sleep deprivation makes you feel all of those things and if you don't get it sorted you end up with worse headaches and hallucinations!.
You need to wear your body out and then it releases chemicals that make your body sleep. Try going out on your bike for a few miles or go jogging or swimming, anything that gets your heart pumping. If you can get into a routine of physical exercise then that helps a lot. I find pretending to be asleep is a good way to nod off. Just pretend someone is watching you (shouldn't be hard seeing as how paranoid you are LOL,) like a film crew making a film and you have to convince them your asleep, so let your body relax into a comfy sleep position and let all your muscle relax, all of them, then make your breathing slower and deeper like a sleeping person. Let your thoughts relax and go off on their own tangents, don't keep daydreaming as this keeps your mind too active. Soon you should drop off
Things to avoid:-
Any drink with caffeine in.
Too much/any food after 7pm
Stuff that makes your brain too active so things like action video games or action films and even action books can cause your adrenalin levels to rise.
Drugs from the doctors, worst thing ever, a load of side effects and as soon as you come off them you cant sleep and its worse then ever.
Hope this helps.
