Yes. Is there something that you don't understand about taking a nap and having a screwed a sleep schedule? It makes perfect sense.

Try going without a nap for a couple of days. Naps should be no longer than 30 minutes if you have to take one. A 3 hour nap is not a nap. You went to sleep. You entered the REM stage.

It wouldn't matter. All that would make any differnence would be the time he woke up in relation to what cycle he was in

So, you're saying taking naps won't affect someone's sleep cycle? You don't believe that entering the REM cycle of sleep hours before you're meant to will screw up your sleep cycle?

Start going to sleep earlier. I was once like you and took constant naps over the summer because of lack of sleep. I ****ed myself up so bad that my sleep cycle turned into this:
Wake up at 12am. Stay up until 6am, sleep. Wake up at 12pm, stay up til 6pm, sleep until 12am. Was not fun breaking it lol. Instead of 1 long 12 hour sleep, I had 2 6 hour sleeps separated by 6 hours of being awake.
If you research about naps online, you will come across a few articles talking about how naps should never exceed 30 minutes. If you've taken a psychology class, you will know how sleep works. If you don't, here's a quick summary:
After the 30 minute mark, it is pretty much guaranteed that the body goes into the REM cycle of sleep. This is where body repairs and dreams happen. You want to avoid this as this will screw up your night sleep cycle.

Why not come home from school, go to the gym, eat, do homework and spend the rest of the night Facebooking? Make it a goal to be in bed by 10.
