Help! I can't graduate from school

Posted by bmxgoof on February 03, 2005 at 06:56:18:
I only have one last semester left before I graduate but my attendance is so poor it is going to be questionable. I was doing so well before - a straight 'A' student. I have college all tucked away for next year too. The problem is that I can't get up in the morning to get to my only 4 classes. I usually am not tired until 3 AM but then I'm forced to get up at 6:30. When and if I make it to school, I obviously can't focus in my classes. I wish I could do work in study hall after lunch but I fall straight to sleep. When I get home I take a 2 hour nap. My parents hate me now. They are taking away my car, and any other Privileges that I have. My mom tries to wake me up by spraying me with cold water after ripping my blankets off. I don’t think anything is going to discourage me from sleeping in the morning; it’s all I can think about. Once I was forced to go to sleep at 10 after holding off on all naps and guess what? I woke up at midnight because my body must have thought it was my nap. Then I just lay awake until 4. The doctor pretty much claims it to be SAD and put me on Lexapro. I wish I could go to school, heck, I only have one working class. Is there anything I can do in order to be able to get to school?
