Default I've lost my sleeping pattern

Help me. I don't know what to do.

I thought I was doing right by working late at night and getting to sleep at 1 or 2 in the morning. That's basically 4 to 5 hours of sleep since I get classes at 8. What I do is making in the afternoon.

But recently I've been doing stuff in the afternoon and I couldn't snap. My problem is that I'm accustomed to this new pattern: night = 5 hours afternoon = 2 hours. I've noticed it last night. I tried to sleep earlier and I couldn't, so I got up to read. And this morning I woke up at 7:30am, 30min before class. Fortunately there was the bus.

I thought I was doing right Help me.

Try 4,5 hours at night and 1,5 hours in the afternoon.
Sleep happens in cycles of 90 minutes. If you complete your cycle and sleep that additional 30 minutes you get into a state of sleep in which your body shuts down a lot of its function, therefore it is bad to awake at that time when the body is still "shut down".

You should put more effort in waking up at a certain time (by the use of enough alarm clocks to get you up, that tigger a few minutes apart from each other)
