So basically in a nutshell, You don't want to wake up early and want to sleep. Join the rest of us! You keep blaming things on something else which is sad because it seems in today's society that is the trend. Dude, get your butt up and go to school! It's not hard, but then again if your lazy and want things catered to you then go ahead and present this. You won't get far. Have some drive son, really. If you put it in your mind you need to wake up at a certain time, you will with practice. I understand you are young and I'm only trying to help you with all my posts but it doesn't get better. The hormones you talk of doesn't matter. As an adult, I would love to sleep in and get more sleep but it isn't possible. Get used to it and look at this experience as training you for real life. If your smart, your grades won't be affected. I bet you have a straight A student in your class and I bet most of the kids in your class have a B average. And don't say no, they have a D average because they don't. You have a problem waking up, and that's true with some people. But it's you that has do deal with it and figure out a way to move on. If not, and you want things changed to fit you, then you are going to have a real hard time in the real world.
No he hasn't shared info. Don't know why but I think it hurts his case thus no info.
Your argument is based on the flawed assumption that I'm lazy. I walk home from school an hour each day. It's not a sport, but it's better than taking the bus. I'd walk in the morning, too, but then I'd have to get up at 5:00.
lol, you don't know manual labor, and probably never will. 
unless you get a job on a commercial fishing boat or with a construction company. it's also extremely obvious you haven't done any research on the effects of carbohydrates on the body. you probably didn't know starch or carbohydrates are metabolized as sugar. processed turkey=enhanced with sugar, bread=carbohydrate, orange juice=enhanced sucrose, apple=sucrose, pasta=carbohydrate, rice=carbohydrate, ice cream=sugar.
you get way more sugar in your diet than you think...stop blaming it on hormones, there are more factors involved than your hormones. the data is there, just look for it. it won't be on wikipedia.
I'd disagree, we had to keep that ship moving 24 hours a day, sails only (except if it were over a force 6 or if we were in port). The boom and gaff on the mainsail and foresail each weighed one ton. There was also the half-ton boom of the staysail, and the two jibs. We had to lift those things by hand twice a day, if not more, and do the tacking ourselves (no mean feat considering that our jibs were four stories tall). The oldest among us was 19, the average age was 14, and the youngest was 12. The instructors weren't much help, either, even at twice or three times our strength it took the entire crew to haul the sails up. Don't even get me started on the dinghies and anchor. If we weren't in port, we were hiking through the forest and doing construction work for programs for troubled kids. We didn't fish, but it was gruelling considering how young we were.
Every energy source metabolises into sugar (glucose) in the end. You're right. There isn't anything else that our cells can handle. If you tried to metabolise entire large carboyhdrate molecules at once inside even the hardiest cells, the cells would explode. That's why energy goes down to adenosine triphosphate (ATP), it's a more manageable chunk of energy. If you remember your highschool biology class the name krebs cycle should also ring a bell. Furthermore, we need carbohydrates (or at least large amounts of protein) to survive. They serve as our main energy resource. You must be joking about me eating too many calories. I weigh 120 pounds- I'm a stick figure (not proud of it, some muscle would be useful).
I'm very well aware that carbohydrates have an effect on the body. The body will either store them or immediately metabolise them upon consumption. Metabolism consists of breaking the carbs down into glucose, then glycolisis, the Krebs Cycle, and finally the electron transport system. First in the cycle comes glycolisis (breaking glucose down into pyruvate, which gives 2 ATP) then the krebs cycle (which converts pyruvate into NAD+H
+). Finally, the electron transport system uses the product of the krebs cycle to produce ATP, which cells use for energy. Carbohydrates are not caffeine, and 23 studies (all published in the Journal of the American Medical Association) on the subject are testament to the fact that sugars have no effect on activity levels.

I've asked four times and yet still no article.
I'm working on it! I forgot to take it to school today.
