The nonsleeper

I go to bed at around 5 am every night, and wake up at times ranging from 12pm-4pm. Is this normal or not?

    You're fine. Not necessarily normal, but fine. Most people are "day" people, while there are a number who are "night" people. You are just a night person. It's no different than there being short and tall people.

    You have some specific advantages over day people, but since the majority are day people, the advantages are mostly neutralized by the social disadvantages. For example, most jobs that pay well are day jobs and no matter how you try, you just won't reach your peak performance during this period so will be less capable of achieving promotions and such.

    My advice....when looking for a career, keep an eye out for occupations that offer advancement or even higher pay for people who work evening shifts. Examples are emergency responders, police, helicopter pilots, etc. Also, the possibility exists to work for companies overseas who need people who can work their daytime hours in our country.

    You're just like me. I'm 19 and my normal "bedtime" is between 4-7am and I typically wake between 2(noon is like early morning for me) and 4.

    The sad thing is..I live alone, and I'm a girl. I should really have some motivation in my live. I'm usually awakened by my phone ringing.

    I'd say you're normal.
