Wow you must have some will power, I can't stand the infomeciles for more then a min. But what you and holder are saying is that you can sleep but only in the day. My prob is I can't sleep at all un till my body gives out.

I used to be a horrific insomniac, big time. I'd go to "sleep" about four or five am and be up at noon or one. Nowadays, I have it beat, usually asleep by eleven or midnight (later if I'm actually doing something) and up at six or seven every morning, whether I have to be or not.

Here's how I beat insomnia:

- Excersise : I run every morning at eight. Just out to the local park. Has done me wonders.
- Diet : I cut out a lot of fast food, started eating smaller portions more often. I eat four small meals a day.
- Caffine/Nicotine : I cut back on my smoking heavily and cut caffine out of my diet completely.
Relaxation : I make myself get away from computer/video games/school work/work work at least 30 minutes before I go to bed. Usually pop in a DVD in bed or read.

Initially, it was tough, because I had to make myself get up every morning when my body thought it was time to sleep. One thing to try is set multiple alarm clocks. I had three and my cell set. Also, about a half hour before you want to sleep, drink a cup of Chamomile tea. Another thing to try is drink five or six glasses of water before bed. You'll wake up early and alert ready to answer the call of nature. And, obviously, give yourself six to eight hours of sleep. I feel a whole bunch healthier since I started doing this and I sleep really well every night.

Remember, your body has a clock, and it keeps a schedule. It's best to wake the same time every day and go to bed at the same time every day. Initially, it's tough, but your body will learn.

I dont know If what I have is considered as insomnia but I stay up till around 5:00 in the morning. I'll either play video games(the lights make your eyes heavy after a while) or Ill use my access energy to practice karate.

Well it sounds like it is more your choice to stay up then, not. Insomnia is the inability to go to sleep no matter how tired you are.
