can you you help me? i never ever sleep at night?!


Question: Can you you help me? i never ever sleep at night?
okay, so I always fall asleep at like 10 AM and wake up at 10 PM. so I just got up. and my family and I are getting worried because before like 3 months ago, I used to fall asleep at 9 PM every night no matter what. then all of a sudden I just could NOT sleep. its been 3 months since I slept at night. and I am only 13 and i might go back to school (I am home schooled) and I am afraid my sleeping habits won't change. and it really sucks because I never get to do anything but sit in my room all night doing my homework, then when I am done all i do is watch TV.

And we already went to the doctor and she wants to check out my heart on Tuesday. But that can't be the problem (my heart). and my mom thinks it could be because I'm really really depressed, but this never happened before (I have had depression since I was 4 years old). and I am not stressed (at least not that bad). so what the heck is the problem? or how can I fall asleep and have normal sleeping habits?

Thanks in advance.

I think your problem is you're homeschooled and you're just plain home all the time, you have NO commitments to HAVE to wake up for. You have to shift the time you go to bed, sounds like you could start by trying to fall asleep at 8AM and waking up at 1PM or something, I mean, you're sleeping 12 hours a day! Force yourself out of bed earlier and earlier until you're so tired you HAVE to go to sleep at a decent hour, week after week little by little...
But your doc will tell you best. They may even repeat what I say here. Every kid sleeps later and later during summer vacation for example, because they "ain't got nowhere to be!" That's what happens! You aren't being disciplined enough, nobody drags you out of bed at a decent hour so you were allowed to get like this.
