Hopefully, street drugs can be ruled out as a contributing factor...but how about sugar and caffeine consumption? Do you have a large amount of either when you get up in the morning that accounts for your "energy" boost? If there is a dietician at your school, maybe he/she can help you find some nutritional balance. You might also speak to your guidance counsellor. Is there any chance you are suffering from depression?

Please speak to a parent, your pediatrician, family doctor, OB/GYN...whatever...tell them what you have told us. If you feel something is wrong, be persistant.
