Aaaargh, I'm slowly becoming nocturnal!

Seriously! I used to go to bed at half nine, then ten, then half ten, 11, 11.30, now it's hitting midnight before I'm remotely sleepy!

Is this a normal teen thing, and will it go away? I love to sleep and hate feeling tired but I'm stuck with not being tired til late, then not getting as good a sleep, then feeling all bleugh!

My 13 yr old is morphing into a night owl too. Are you waking up later as well?

No, thanks to having a job that means I'm up at 6, out of the house by 7.45. Or if I'm working a 10-6, up at 7.15 and out by 9. I don't understand, why now at 19 not earlier? Does it mean I'm due a growth spurt? I've been 5ft 2 since I was about 13!

My 19 year old has also turned nocturnal. She rarely goes to bed before 1am but she hasn't got a job so gets up late.
