OK, you say you are getting up about 2:00 in the afternoon, eat about 3:00 p.m., and then have something no larger than a snack about 2:00 a.m. Boy, My Steve would have loved you! He did something similar for years. It is healthy for some people, but only you would know. If you are not gaining or losing weight very much, and if you feel OK, it's probably enough food for you. Of course, I hope you take vitamins, and eat a pretty well-balanced meal when you do have that one meal. The risk with this all-at-once (or mostly all at once) food habit is the times when you just don't feel like eating, or don't have the self-discipline to eat a balanced meal, you get out of whack quicker than people who eat more often.
I'm a little concerned about your getting up at 2 in the afternoon. This seems to imply you are not going to school, not doing anything which is in synch with the school schedule, and perhaps involved in a night-owl lifestyle that can be impractical for a young girl. I mean, how does this fit in with your parents' schedules? And how about your friends? A lot of night-owl people get in that habit because they are hanging around with drug users and unhealthy sorts that would be even worse for a 13-year-old than they are for the older and more jaded.
I'd want to believe your parents are OK with this schedule and trust that you are taking care of yourself more generally. Kids can do some remarkably stupid things just trying to avoid one particular problem (staying away from someone you don't want to deal with, for example), rather than facing the issues and living a healthier lifestyle.
With most of your awake time being when it is dark, are you getting enough exercise? A performer may have to be a night owl, but short of that, I would recommend you try to re-set your schedule to correspond more to what the rest of the world is doing.

Eh, from the sound it doesn't sound good of course but most teenagers sleep late and eat late. I'm the same way, and don't eat until way later on. If you're doing iton purpose and really are hungry before the 2am thing then that's really not good and you should start eating more or ask a parent or doctor for help. But, other than that and you're just not hungry, it's not really weird 'cause at that age you are all thrown off and growing and stuff so you'll live. =)

Not at all. You should be having a balanced diet consisting of 3 meals a day, and if you want a light snack at night. But to be eating once a day is abuse to your body.

Look, if there are healthful ideas you're going to have healthful peers. If you may have healthful peers you're going to have healthful ideas. One follows the one more. If anybody says phrases of heat then my middle (my emotional brain) feels well, however my brain says whatever someplace is flawed given that no person can say phrases of heat to folks like me. Its no longer my challenge however I do not show my individual, so theres hardly ever any one who comes to grasp a lot approximately me. And people who understand will decide on silence or a small smile to make me believe well. :)

No, not real. It's okay to sleep late, but to not eat....that's kinda dangerous. You should be more active doing something...i.e. playing outside with your friends, cheer-leading practice, dance class, something, heck anything! You should be taking vitamins too. Ask your mom if she could recommend a vitamin for you to take to get more energy and more nutrition into your body because right now, you aren't getting enough protein, iron, carb's or anything!

It sounds like a gnarly summer schedule. I'd try to start getting back on track before school starts so you don't end up all aggro.

you should get on a regular schedule and eat three meals a day at regular intervals, get all the basic food groups and most of all, get to sleep at night!!

the fact that you wake up at two and are 13 that baffles me... my momma would have had my *** if i did something like that. and then only eating in 12 hour intervals.... thats rediculous. wake up earlier and eat more.... its more healthy
