SB, thanks for the recommendation regarding my sleeping troubles - I'll definitely keep that in mind.

My mom emailed me an interesting article about what you mentioned - it seems that teens do have completely different sleeping patterns and habits. My family teases me about waking up and staying up late, and it makes me feel guilty, because I really do wish I could make myself get on a better schedule.

Well, once school starts, I won't have a choice as to how I sleep. I'll be up early and more than happy to go to bed early.
