This sounds very strange!. I know I used to sleep during class but only because I found them pretty boring (since they were usually too easy for me) and because I was hearing-impaired and learned by textbooks!.
But you sound like you can sleep at your own will and you sleep from 5 p!.m!. to the morning sometimes!? Wow!. This does sound like a problem!. And I think part of the problem is you are not eating enough, you are not consuming enough for your body to convert into energy to keep you awake!.
You say you are "healthy" and "fit" !.!.!. does that translate to way too thin!? There are very young girls that think they are healthy but are in fact way too thin and not eating correctly!. They always look like they are tired and have bags under their eyes!.
If this is the case for you!. You need to get some help!. If it is not your case, you need to see a doctor - maybe you need some medicine to sort out some sort of imbalance in your body chemicals!.
I wish you the best!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i fall asleep in class all the time, but if ur falling asleep at 5:00, theres definitely something wrong!. staying up late for a week in a row WILL fix your sleeping pattern!.
try staying awake by doing exciting things, a good idea, if u dont mind getting in a bit of trouble, is to get a large group of friends together and pull pranks on teachers at early hours of the morning!. the rush and excitement will keep you awake, until you go home, where you will probably stay up another half an hr before dozing off!.
when you wake up in the morning, you will notice you're completely energised, keep this up until it becomes natural to fall asleep later!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
