Sleepless Nights

So I've had trouble sleeping at night for as long as I can remember.
REALLY I remember staying awake for 2 days in a row when I was only five, I just stared out the window all night and waited for the sun to come up. But back then I was really just testing to see if it was even possible to stay awake for that long.

Now my problem is only that I'm a night owl. I like staying up all night, and then I sleep early in the morning. This isn't an all the time thing, just every once in a while. But my mother keeps making a big deal out of it.

I guess not sleeping isn't my problem at all. The real problem is that I'm still living with my mother. I'm a 20 year old college student, so it's not like my life is going nowhere. But, a few years ago, I thought I'd be in my own apartment by now, with a steady job. I let my expectations get too high when I was younger and now I'm paying for it, my life isn't living up to the dream. The woman that I refer to as my mother is actually my grandmother. She doesn't look her age, she looks like she's only in her 40's (she's actually in her 60's) but she definatly acts her age. She's very moody and loves to nag about everything. She's too much for me to deal with at times (like today), and those are the times when I really wish I had my own place. Today her issue with me was the fact that I didn't go to sleep last night.
