Sleep? What is this thing you call sleep?

I am officially becoming one of those stereotypical college kids where sleep is concerned.  I would sleep all day if it was possible and stay up all night if I could.  There's just a few problems with this.

1. I am a night owl.  It starts getting dark and I get a ton of energy.  Last night it was 1 am and I wanted to go for a walk or write a story or do something, but walking that late alone is not safe and I doubt my roommate would enjoy the gentle glow and the clicking of keys coming from my laptop.  
2. I have classes.  
3. One of said classes starts at 8:30 am.
4. Everyone else I know goes to bed at a decent hour except for one guy, but he watches scary movies most of the time.  (Scary Movies + Me = A Not Good Combination)

I talk about going to bed early, but it never happens.  And if I do manage to get to bed "early" (1 am is early, right?), I just stare at the ceiling as thoughts chase themselves around my head.  And before I know it, only a few minutes have passed even though it feels like hours.  This is fine once in a while, but Every. Single. Night. is a bit ridiculous.
Maybe I should just pull an all nighter one day and things would go back to normal.  Or it would just result in my sleeping being even more screwed up, but hey, a girl can dream.  Or ya know, maybe not if she can't sleep in the first place.
