Sleeping More, Tired More?

For some strange reason, i am becoming more and more tired earlier in the evening.
Normally i sleep around 11:30-midnight, but now i cant even stay awake to watch the full Day[9] daily (ends at 11). I dont know why i am becoming extremely tired so much quicker, but that is just something I may have to deal with.
The real thing that is bugging me is I seem to be much more tired in the late morning/afternoon. I am barely able to stay awake during school, and I almost fell asleep on the bus.
I know you guys are not doctors, but does anyone know how its possible to be sleeping more, yet being more tired than before?

Having a hard time getting up? Take advantage of the 90-minute sleep cycle.
Even if you’ve enjoyed a full night’s sleep, getting out of bed isn’t easy if your alarm goes off when you’re in the middle of the deeper stages of sleep (especially stages 3 and 4). If you want to make mornings less painful, set a wake-up time that’s a multiple of 90 minutes, the length of the average sleep cycle. For example, if you go to bed at 10 p.m., set your alarm for 5:30 (a total of 7 ½ hours of sleep) instead of 6:00 or 6:30. You’ll feel more refreshed at 5:30 than you will with another 30 to 60 minutes of sleep, because you’re getting up when your body and brain are already close to wakefulness.
