Must be you are noctural and prefer the night time though don't get this confused and feel the need to party all night, theres a fine line between being noctural and a party animal :D

Really does vary from person to person. It could be mental exhaustion, and that there are many things on the person's mind. Then at night time, when it's quiet these thoughts surface and sadly leave the sleepless one tossing and turning. Diaries are fantastic during those nights. :)

It's quite possible that you've switched your clock upside down! I did this once upon a time and the fix is easier than you'd think. Just, on a day where you don't need to do many important things, don't let yourself sleep and keep yourself up until the evening of the next day. You might feel overly tired for the next few days, but that's just your body catching up on what it needs before you regulate. Happy sleeping! -Ellie x

This is a result of your messed up body clock. You need to force yourself to get your body clock correct again.

At night, we aren't busy living our lives. At night, it is quiet and we have a LOT more time to think.

it can happen by multiple reasons. sometimes it is because of having dinner late then unnecessarily using internet or using mobile phone for late night conversations or even playing games. then the next morning you feel sleepy because of having less sleep last night. then by the course of time it gets routine to stay awake all night and having to feel sleepy the whole day.

Your sleeping pattern is out of natural, you need to exercise yourself during the day, this will allow yourself to fall asleep at night

Your mind is full of thoughts and flashbacks. try to relax and avoid too much thinking of past and don't go to be unless you are totally into sleep :)

You may need to do lots of activities to tire yourself a bit so you won't even have the energy to think when you go to bed

I think you should first see a doctor to rule out any physical issues. But it could be that you're brain is busier during the day which is making you feel more tired!

Maybe you have been able to set your biological clock that ways by staying up late on a regular basis. Or a less likely reason could be that you may be suffering from a mild form of insomnia and you should consult a medical professional for the same.

Could be altered sleeping pattern issues. You might have gotten used to something made you busy during the night then you slept on the morning and possibly had difficulty adjusting since then. Might also be a recurrent pattern of altered sleeping pattern and your body has finally adapted to it.

I have the same issue! I feel it's just because I'm nocturnal, but it is a savage cycle considering that very few people operate that way. It's because your body's circadian rhythms are different from anyone else's. However, this isn't a healthy habit to cling to, so I try to readjust myself every so often.

You don't get enough sleep for yourself or you are sleeping at the wrong time of the day so switch your sleeping schedule

This can be a different reason for many people. I find that the most common reason is that your mind is racing and having so many thoughts and keeping you up.

Because it's probably the amount of time you sleep or if you sleep all day or maybe it's school.Maybe you should try to eat healthier or just stay off technology for a bit or go outside. :)

Because your body use to be night clock and light clock will be off. You must try to sleep early or use any relex music at night to help you to fall asleep

This all has to do with the sleeping pattern you have set for yourself. You have adapted this possible at a young age and have stuck with it.

It sometimes depends on your mental state. If one has depression or anxiety one is likely to be exhausted but unable to sleep. I recommend hypnosis for relaxation/sleep, which anyone can find on YouTube.
