teens short on sleep

When we were toddlers we never wanted to go to sleep, but as teenagers, we all look forward to it. As teenagers, I feel we don't get enough sleep because when I look around I see everyone is tired.

I usually don't fall asleep until 12-2AM on school nights and I have to wake up at 5:30 evry morning. i have to admit, sometimes I'm tired with a hot shower and caffine. I have fallen asleep many times in class during my school career.

I think the reason that teenagers don't fall asleep is because of their social lives and stress. Having a lot on my mind keeps me up very late. I also stay up later than I should if I'm talking to one of my friends how can't sleep.

My internal clock changes drastically in summer. I usually don't fall asleep until around 5AM and don't wake until 11. If I'm woken before that then I usually take a nap.

Teenagers might beeasier to sleep if they didn't have to deal with stress. This could be cured by relaxing before bedtime and shutting off all communications when tired.
