About 3years ago I moved to a new place with my parents, and since then I couldn't sleep early. Usually I could only sleep at 1 or 2 am in midnight(12 pm if lucky), and had to wake up at 6.30 for school. The lack of sleep made me very sleepy during the day, basically my brain wasn't fresh for even one day.

Recently I tried sleeping early, but still get very sleepy after I wake up.
Do I have to continue sleeping early for a very long period of time in order to repay my 'sleeping debts'? Or it's not possible?

Someone help please.. :(
