Is it normal to be afraid of sleeping?

I've just recently come to the realization that I might have a problem when it comes to sleep. For the past couple years, I've been not wanting to go to sleep early or on time because I'm simply not "ready for it to be the next day yet" (which is the reason I give myself for not going to sleep). I get about 2-3 hours of sleep per night. Yes, I get extremely exhausted and during the day I'm constantly thinking about how badly I want to sleep, but when it comes nighttime, I won't let myself sleep because I feel like I'm wasting time. When I'm staying up, I don't do anything productive. I'm extremely bored and have nothing to do. I think I may have a fear of the advancement of time. Is it normal to not sleep because of this, even though I'm extremely tired and sleepy?

    I guess it's not normal, but I do the same thing. I'm doing it now haha. I need to be up in 6 hours but I don't want it to be the next day. I can relate.

    We're alike in a lot of ways... I have a feeling we're both those nueratic people... I'm not ready for the next day and don't want to go to bed but I don't do anything like "productive" either. It's not really fear, though.

    Here's something. When I was little, like I don't know maybe 7 or 8, I was always afraid to go to bed because I was afraid my parents would kill me in my sleep! I feel so bad now :( Haha. It must have hurt them when I told them that! But I've always been nueratic sooo...

    I always go to bed hoping the sun won't come out or for time to stop while sleeping, but that's because I want to sleep more hours...
