Hello,

Well, I've got a question to ask, about sleeping patterns and the weather.

Is it possible that I sleep to 11AM (no matter what time I get to sleep) in winter, and to around 8AM (Also, no matter what time I get to sleep) during the other seasons?

I have been waking up at around 11 AM on any given day since around november (even with an alarm clock turned up approx. 6 inches from my head), up until a few days ago when I started waking up right at 8 AM, which I have woken up around that time since.

I have talked with another person and they say the same thing happens to them.

Is the temperature affecting my sleeping patterns? is it normal around the age of 13-16? or am I just weird?

From,
Chris.
 
Does the room change temperature during these seasons? If everything is just outside, I would disagree.

However, this is possible: in the winter in earlier times, man most likely did not sleep longer, lest he freeze to death from a lack of body fat. If your build is leaner, this could be an answer.

I have never experienced this before, though I started waking up at 4a.m. every day after my little brother left and later returned from a field trip.

Well, my room fluctuates in temperature so much that it would be nearly impossible to tell (sucky air conditioning system)

Also, I said I sleep LATER in winter, not earlier, as it seemed your were saying.

That's normal, you have an "internal" clock. If your body is use to wake up at a certain time, you almost wake up at that same time every morning.

You start to wake up when daylight starts to come in your room. The melatonin in your brain, this is a neurotransmitter deriveted from serotonin, starts to wear off when it is getting lighter in you room. This wearing off is a wake up call for your body. So in the winter you sleep longer because the sun comes up much later than in the summer.
