I'm a dog sleeper, I sleep when I'm tired, and I sleep when I want too. I'm thinking of switching to Polyphasic sleeping eventually, when I can get myself to fall asleep faster.

Anyways, I sleep whenever I feel tired, if I don't feel tired, I don't sleep. If you can't tell when you should sleep, time your up-time to about 16 hours, anything over that after a full nights sleep would be considered tired.

You don't ever feel tired, you never go to sleep or you just don't know what time to sleep?
Depending on which of these you're talking about, this could be the result of insomnia or other sleep disorders, which you'd have to talk to a specialist about.

Although, I suspect you mean you just don't know what time to go to sleep, in which case you should try to aim for 8 or 9 hours sleep each night. A healthy sleep pattern for a 16 year old(assuming your profile is correct) would be to go to sleep at 10:30 PM and wake up at 7 AM.

For most people, they don't feel tired until they remove all distractions and visual stimulation. AKA. They don't know till they lay down and shut everything off. It is recommended that you get at LEAST 7 hours of sleep. Up to 9. Now, if you aren't getting that, you should be. So, just trying heading to bed 8 hours before you have to get up, and you will get plenty of sleep. Just shut everything off, turn off all thelights, lay down, shut the eyes, and chill. You'll either feel tired or restless.

ah i dont really have a specific time to get up. I just need to be up by 3:30pm to help my brother lol. I've been on vacation since october. I have problems going to sleep but once im asleep i tend to over sleep. Like at least 10 hours and even then it feel like its enough and i like have a permanent headache it seems.
And what i meant was i just cant tell if im suppose to go to sleep. I could sense myself being a lil tired but i dont know. I cant really explain. I just cant tell. I ended up sleeping though but i only tried because my head wa killing me so i wanted to sleep so it'd go away.
