go to sleep early if you're under 18, seriously. you'll regret it later in life if you don't. I got vertically shafted because I didn't do this. My brother is 6'6, my dad is 6'3, my uncles and grandparents are all well over 6'0 and I'm only 5'10 cause I went to sleep late and didn't eat well.
I started sleeping at 4 when I was in 7th grade. I'm still taller than the rest of my family at 5'11" ;/

I do the same, except the "late" for me is 1-2ish 
|
I get up at 7 every morning, go to work, take a power nap at around 7 and stay up till about 1 am. Repeat process

story of my life. i blame my roommate/my school... sleeping at 3 every night = -___-

I've been a night owl as long as I can remember.
When I was very young it would drive my family nuts. They eventually bought me a reading lamp and a steady stream of books and called it good as long as I didn't wake everyone up.
In school this lead to a lot sleepy mornings and afternoon naps.
In university I took the afternoon classes and everything worked out fine.
These days it works in my favor since I'm willing to take the night shifts and earn a little more money.
I do run into people who seem to take offense to such a late sleeping schedule. I assume this is some cultural hold out from pre-electric times.

ive reset my sleep schedule to going to sleep right after dinner ~5:00pm and waking up about 1:00am. this way i can be a night owl and get a full nights sleep. it has mad me feel a little bit weaker since i can't enjoy my time to the fullest as im living with my parents or a roommate.

I go to work at 8, I go to bed at 11. How is that lame again?
|
I gotta wake up at 7 am each morning, so usually i go to sleep between 11 and midnight.
I still feel like crap in the mornings though -.-

Honestly, as long as it doesn't affect your work/school, who cares when you wake up or go to bed. The day has 24hours, if you rather sleep between 5am and 1pm instead of 10pm and 6am, what's the big deal?

I've been in this boat for a long time, started getting trouble sleeping at the age of 6, it was during the time I started learning to read and discovered subtitles on foreign television show, so I attempted to learn english this way, stayed up to maybe 1-2 during the morning, one fond memory I have was that I never missed "Married: with children" and learned the word 'fuel' from it.
at 4th grade I started pulling all-nighters because I couldn't sleep due to schoolwork and the pain of growing so fast.
Now. age 19, I don't even attempt to control it. Much like the OP I 'work'/'function'/enjoy life much better during the darker hours when everyone else is quiet, it may make me miss some school-hours but I won't let it ruin me.
Sleeping away a third of your life is overrated.
