Is it normal that i don't want to go to sleep until i'm really tired?

My parents get angry at me for not going to bed when is late and everybody is already in bed. I just want to continue on doing whatever I'm doing at the moment until I get really tired and literally collapse to bed and have a shut-eye. In average I sleep for 5-6 hours, between 1pm and 7 pm.

Have a normal sleeping schedule, that's healthy. 16
Perhaps you are a night person and are at your best at night. 18
It sounds reasonable, you sleep when you're tired and stay up when not 34

    unless your running around all night dancing and singing, i can't see what problem your parents must have with your sleeping. Unless they are concerned for how much sleep you are getting, but you sound pretty good as long as you don't get any less than that 6 hours.

    best to do what you doing, cos otheriwse if you just lay there and wait for sleep your mind can associate with sleep being something you have to wait in bed for, which is annoying

    along as you get some good sleep, you're set.
